Prentice Hall, 1999. - 658 pages.
Offering a welcome balance between rigor and ease of comprehension, this book presents full coverage of the analytic (and accurate) method for solving PDEs - in a manner that is both decipherable to engineers and physically insightful for mathematicians. By exploring the eigenfunction expansion method based on physical principles instead of abstract analyses, it makes the analytic approach understandable, visualizable, and straightforward to implement. Contains tabulations and derivations of all known eigenfunction expansions.
