Features: This book systematically introduces the fundamental concepts and applications in the direction of partial differential equations. The main contents include the heat conduction equation, the method of separation of variables, Fourier series, the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem, finite difference numerical methods for partial differential equations, non-homogeneous problems, format functions for steady-state problems, problems in infinite domains, Green's functions for the wave equation and heat conduction equation, the characteristic line method for linear and quasilinear wave equations, as well as the Laplace transform solution method for partial differential equations. The book emphasizes practical applications, covers a broad range of topics, and is clearly structured. It is suitable as a textbook or teaching reference for senior undergraduate or graduate students in non-computer science disciplines of science and engineering at universities, as well as a reference book for mathematics majors in similar courses.
