Handbook of Linear Partial Differential Equations for Engineers and Scientists cover

  • Includes nearly 4,000 linear partial differential equations (PDEs) with solutions
  • Presents solutions of numerous problems relevant to heat and mass transfer, wave theory, hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, elasticity, acoustics, electrodynamics, diffraction theory, quantum mechanics, chemical engineering sciences, electrical engineering, and other fields
  • Outlines basic methods for solving various problems in science and engineering
  • Contains much more linear equations, problems, and solutions than any other book currently available
  • Provides a database of test problems for numerical and approximate analytical methods for solving linear PDEs and systems of coupled PDEs

New to the Second Edition

  • More than 700 pages with 1,500+ new first-, second-, third-, fourth-, and higher-order linear equations with solutions
  • Systems of coupled PDEs with solutions
  • Some analytical methods, including decomposition methods and their applications
  • Symbolic and numerical methods for solving linear PDEs with Maple, Mathematica, and MATLAB®
  • Many new problems, illustrative examples, tables, and figures

To accommodate different mathematical backgrounds, the authors avoid wherever possible the use of special terminology, outline some of the methods in a schematic, simplified manner, and arrange the material in increasing order of complexity.

Praise for the Previous Edition

"… one-stop shopping for scientists and engineers who need a cookbook solution for partial differential equations. The logical organization—by type of equation … and number of variables—makes finding entries easy. … This very useful book has no competitors."
CHOICE, October 2002

"… a good example of a reference information resource named 'Handbook.' It is an information tool: comprehensive, condensed, descriptive in 'Contents,' authoritative, and practical. … In one volume it contains over 2,000 solutions to linear partial differential equations. … It is not a solution manual to accompany a textbook, but an information resource of advanced level for professionals. … a great addition for research and academic collections."
E-Streams, Vol. 6, No. 2

"… I have been reading the Polyanin books Handbook of Linear Partial Differential Equations for Engineers andScientists and Handbook of Exact Solutions for Ordinary Differential Equations. I think these books are extraordinary, and are destined to become classics. … CRC Press has provided an invaluable service to science and engineering by publishing these books."
