New and updated features of this title
- Chapter 2 offers an improved, simpler presentation of the linearity principle, showing that the heat equation is a linear equation.
- Chapter 4 contains a straightforward derivation of the vibrating membrane, an improvement over previous editions.
- Additional simpler exercises now appear throughout the text.
- Hints are offered for many of the exercises in which partial differential equations are solved in chapters 2, 4, 5, 7, and 10—the core of a typical first course. These hints often include the separation for the variables of variables themselves, so the problem is more straightforward for students.
