The subject of PDE's holds an exciting place in mathematics. At one extreme, the interest lies in the existence and uniqueness of solutions, and in theoretical treatment of the material. Atthe other extreme lies the applied mathematical and engineering quest to find useful solutions, which can be used in design and construction. These books aim to actually solve equations rather than discuss the theoretical properties of their solutions, and will serve as a comprehensive, highly accessible introduction to the subject.'Analytical Methods for Partial Differential Equations'. This text aims to actually solve equations rather than discuss the theoretical properties of their solutions. Topics covered include the separation of variables, the characteristic method, D'Alembert's method, integral transforms and Green's functions.
