Mathematical physics plays an important role in the study of many physical processes — hydrodynamics, elasticity, and electrodynamics, to name just a few. Because of the enormous range and variety of problems dealt with by mathematical physics, this thorough advanced-undergraduate or graduate-level text considers only those problems leading to partial differential equations. The authors — two well-known Russian mathematicians — have focused on typical physical processes and the principal types of equations deailing with them. Special attention is paid throughout to mathematical formulation, rigorous solutions, and physical interpretation of the results obtained. Carefully chosen problems designed to promote technical skills are contained in each chapter, along with extremely useful appendices that supply applications of solution methods described in the main text. At the end of the book, a helpful supplement discusses special functions, including spherical and cylindrical functions.
Outstanding, wide-ranging material on classification and reduction to canonical form of second-order differential equations; hyperbolic, parabolic, elliptic equations, more. Bibliography.
Includes entries for maps and atlases.
