Sommario/riassunto

This textbook is for the standard, one-semester, junior-senior course that often goes by the title "Elementary Partial Differential Equations" or



"Boundary Value Problems;' The audience usually consists of stu­ dents in mathematics, engineering, and the physical sciences. The topics include derivations of some of the standard equations of mathemati­ cal physics (including the heat equation, the· wave equation, and the Laplace's equation) and methods for solving those equations on bounded and unbounded domains. Methods include eigenfunction expansions or separation of variables, and methods based on Fourier and Laplace transforms. Prerequisites include calculus and a post-calculus differential equations course. There are several excellent texts for this course, so one can legitimately ask why one would wish to write another. A survey of the content of the existing titles shows that their scope is broad and the analysis detailed; and they often exceed five hundred pages in length. These books gen­ erally have enough material for two, three, or even four semesters. Yet, many undergraduate courses are one-semester courses. The author has often felt that students become a little uncomfortable when an instructor jumps around in a long volume searching for the right topics, or only par­ tially covers some topics; but they are secure in completely mastering a short, well-defined introduction. This text was written to proVide a brief, one-semester introduction to partial differential equations.

Sommario/riassunto

Hauptbeschreibung Many things can be said about the 2011 revolution in Egypt. And actually, many things have been said about it, especially by the media. The course of the news reports differed significantly from paper to paper. This study compares four US-newspapers, namely ''The Wall Street Journal'', ''The New York Times'', ''The Washington Times'', and the ''San Francisco Chronicle'' with regard to their reports on the events in Egypt from January 26 until February 12, 2011. This study provides the reader with important information about these specific newspapers, and the events that happe

Sommario/riassunto

Ce dossier analy­se les résultats du scrutin de novembre 2002, voyant s'il y a lieu de souscrire à l'interprétation dominante du « raz-de-marée » largement relayée dans la presse nationale et internationale. Au-delà des résultats sont mis en question les pratiques politiques, la manière dont se joue la compétition électorale, et le système électoral en Turquie dans son ensemble. Il s'interroge également sur la signification de ces élections dans le contexte général de la Turquie contemporaine.
