Features: The main feature of this book is to present the Fourier analysis method as a tool for solving physical and engineering problems. The author aims to make the book suitable for both engineering professionals and pure mathematicians. The author begins by introducing the background of basic mathematical physics equations, then explains the fundamental theory of Fourier series. In handling convergence issues, only piecewise smooth functions are involved, and then the L2 theory is introduced, with the prerequisite of accepting the Lebesgue integral theory. The book takes Fourier analysis as the main thread and focuses on solving typical mathematical physics equations to develop relevant mathematical theories. It serves as a textbook for mathematical physics equations courses. It is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, physics, and engineering programs at comprehensive universities and engineering universities in China. The requirements for studying this book are a foundation in calculus, ordinary differential equations, and basic complex analysis. From the content of the book, the author's mathematical expertise is quite deep, as the mathematical theory is clearly and understandably explained when combined with practical equations. The course of mathematical physics equations itself is highly comprehensive and applied, with relatively low theoretical difficulty but a broad scope of knowledge and wide foundational requirements. There are not many good textbooks on mathematical physics equations in China. This book meets the needs of domestic teaching and is highly commendable for its structure centered on Fourier analysis and its clear and rigorous logical arrangement. Of course, from a purely mathematical perspective, the theoretical depth of the book's content is not very high, so it is highly readable and has a wide readership.
