About the Book

Beginning Partial Differential Equations, Second Edition provides a comprehensive introduction to partial differential equations (PDEs) with a special focus on the significance of characteristics, solutions by Fourier series, integrals and transforms, properties and physical interpretations of solutions, and a transition to the modern function space approach to PDEs. With its breadth of coverage, this new edition continues to present a broad introduction to the field, while also addressing more specialized topics and applications.

Table of Contents:
1. First Order Equations. Notation and Terminology. The Linear First Order Equation. The Significance of Characteristics. The Quasi-Linear Equation. 2. Linear Second Order Equations. Classification. The Hyperbolic Canonical Form. The Parabolic Canonical Form. The Elliptic Canonical Form. Some Equations of Mathematical Physics. The Second Order Cauchy Problem. Characteristics and the Cauchy Problem. Characteristics As Carriers of Discontinuities. 3. Elements of Fourier Analysis. Why Fourier Series? The Fourier Series of a Function. Convergence of Fourier Series. Sine and Cosine Expansions. The Fourier Integral. The Fourier Transform. Convolution. Fourier Sine and Cosine Transforms. 4. The Wave Equation. The Cauchy Problem and d'Alembert's Solution. d'Alembert's Solution As a Sum of Waves. The Characteristic Triangle. The Wave Equation on a Half-Line. A Problem on a Half-Line With Moving End. A Nonhomogeneous Problem on the Real Line. A General Problem on a Closed Interval. Fourier Series Solutions on a Closed Interval. A Nonhomogeneous Problem on a Closed Interval. The Cauchy Problem by Fourier Integral. A Wave Equation in Two Space Dimensions. The Kirchhoff/Poisson Solution. Hadamard's Method of Descent. 5. The Heat Equation. The Cauchy Problem and Initial Conditions. The Weak Maximum Principle. Solutions on Bounded Intervals. The Heat Equation on the Real Line. The Heat Equation on the Half-Line.
