Applied Partial Differential Equations

Drawing on his decade of experience teaching the differential equations course, John Davis offers a refreshing and effective new approach to partial differential equations that is equal parts computational proficiency, visualization, and physical interpretation of the problem at hand.

The book presents topics of science and engineering, which occur in nature or are part of our daily lives. It describes phenomena which are modelled by partial differential equations, relating to physical variables like mass, velocity and energy, etc. to their spatial and temporal variations.
