Solutions of Exercises. 330 $aThe subject of partial differential equations holds an exciting and special position in mathematics. Partial differential equations were not consciously created as a subject but emerged in the 18th century as ordinary differential equations failed to describe the physical principles being studied. The subject was originally developed by the major names of mathematics, in particular, Leonard Euler and Joseph-Louis Lagrange who studied waves on strings; Daniel Bernoulli and Euler who considered potential theory, with later developments by Adrien-Marie Legendre and Pierre-Simon Laplace; and Joseph Fourier's famous work on series expansions for the heat equation. Many of the greatest advances in modern science have been based on discovering the underlying partial differential equation for the process in question. J ames Clerk Maxwell, for example, put electricity and magnetism into a unified theory by estab­ lishing Maxwell's equations for electromagnetic theory, which gave solutions for problems in radio wave propagation, the diffraction of light and X-ray developments. Schrodinger's equation for quantum mechankal processes at the atomic level leads to experimentally verifiable results which have changed the face of atomic physics and chemistry in the 20th century. In fluid mechanics, the Navier-Stokes' equations form a basis for huge number-crunching activities associated with such widely disparate topics as weather forcasting and the design of supersonic aircraft. Inevitably the study of partial differential equations is a large undertaking, and falls into several areas of mathematics. 410 0$aSpringer Undergraduate Mathematics Series,$x2197-4144 606 $aMathematical analysis 606 $aNumerical analysis 606 $aAnalysis 606 $aNumerical Analysis 615 0$aMathematical analysis. 615 0$aNumerical analysis. 615 14$aAnalysis. 615 24$aNumerical Analysis. 676 $a515/.353 686 $a35C15$2msc 686 $a35A22$2msc 700 $aEvans$b G$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01835504 702 $aBlackledge$b J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aYardley$b P$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970271003321 996 $aAnalytic Methods for Partial Differential Equations$94412156 997 $aUNINA
