Sommario/riassunto

Uniquely provides fully solved problems for linear partial differential equations and boundary value problems  Partial Differential Equations: Theory and Completely Solved Problems utilizes real-world physical models alongside essential theoretical concepts. With extensive examples, the book guides readers through the use of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) for successfully solving and modeling phenomena in engineering, biology, and the applied sciences.  The book focuses exclusively on linear PDEs and how they can be solved using the separation of variables technique.
