DESCRIPTION:
Questions of existence, uniqueness, and well-posedness are ignored. Furthermore nonlinear problems are omitted because they are too hard to deal with analytically. Now, however, the availability of convenient, powerful computational software has made it possible to enlarge the scope of the introductory course. The core consists of solution methods, mainly separation of variables, for boundary value problems with constant coeffi cients in geometrically simple domains. In addition to the basic core subjects, I have included material on nonlinear problems and brief discussions of numerical methods. Furthermore, numerical methods should be introduced for each equation as it is studied, not lumped together in a final chapter.. My go
Too Many Errors mpiaria I purchased the Kindle version. The typos are simply intolerable. Learning partial differential equations is difficult. This book makes it unbearable.. An excellent rough draft of a textbook. Cooper's book does some things quite well. While most courses on PDE's are reduced to repetitive applications of separation of variables and Fourier series, Cooper offers a new approach. He goes by equation rather than by technique, and introduces nonlinear equations and numerical methods very early. Separation of variables and Fourier series do not come up until Chapter An excellent rough draft of a textbook. A Customer Cooper's book does some things quite well. While most courses on PDE's are reduced to repetitive applications of separation of variables and Fourier series, Cooper offers a new approach. He goes by equation rather than by technique, and introduces nonlinear equations and numerical methods very early. Separation of variables and Fourier series do not come up until Chapter 4. The first chapter, which reviews elements of analysis, is a very good reference. MATLAB is well i. . The first chapter, which reviews elements of analysis, is a very good reference. MATLAB is well i. Not bad, but the 2nd edition will hopefully be better Kyle Maxwell This is a fairly challenging text. It's currently being used in my undergrad PDE course, and the flow of material is a bit out of the ordinary. The book starts off with the method of characteristics and weak solutions, which are slightly more sophisticated and unusual topics than some of the later material, making it difficult to get started. The focus on using Matlab is nice, and most things are fairly well-explained. Typographical errors are rampant, however, making i
As an application-oriented book that provides the basic definitions, theorems, and analyses of the solutions, it contains the core topics needed for a sound background in partial differential equations. Recommended. It not only adequately treats traditional core partial differential equation methods but also integrates analytic solutions with numerical schemes through the implementation of MATLAB routines. Undergraduates through faculty." Choice. One of the book's excellent features is the availability of illustrative and challenging problems, some of which have been cast in the form of MATLAB projects. Such features undoubtedly make this a suitable work for a laboratory component of an introductory PDEs course. "Cooper's book stands out among a host of PDE works
