applied partial differential equations david logan pdf free
This textbook is for the standard, one-semester, junior-senior course that often goes by the title \"Elementary Partial Differential Equations\" or \"Boundary Value Problems\". The audience consists of students in mathematics, engineering, and the physical sciences. The topics include derivations of some of the standard models of mathematical physics and methods for solving those equations on unbounded and bounded domains. The text differs from other texts in that it is a brief treatment; yet it provides coverage of the main topics usually studied in the standard course as well as an introduction to using computer algebra packages to solve and understand partial differential equations.

In this book we examine models that can be described by partial differential equations. The focus is on the origin of such models and tools used for their analysis. Of particular interest are models in diffusion and heat flow, wave propagation, and transport of energy, chemicals, and other matter. It is impossible to overestimate the role and importance of PDEs in science and engineering.
Many natural phenomena have been successfully formulated as partial differential equations: common applications include Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics and population dynamics. This course will be primarily focused on the theory of linear partial differential equations such as the heat equation, the wave equation and the Laplace equation, including separation of variables, Fourier series and transforms, Laplace transforms, and Green's functions. Some discussion of non-linear conservation laws and the theory of shock waves will be given as time permits. The use of computers to solve PDEs numerically (using Maple or Matlab) will also be briefly covered.
