About The Book:

Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers by Stanley J. Farlow is a highly useful and practical guide to understanding the essential role of partial differential equations (PDEs) in describing physical phenomena. From fluid dynamics to heat flow, optics, and beyond, this text shows how PDEs form the backbone of mathematical physics and how they can be applied to real-world problems.

The book provides a clear and approachable introduction to formulating and solving partial differential equations, covering diffusion-type, hyperbolic-type, and elliptic-type problems, as well as numerical and approximate methods. Written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, along with professionals in the applied sciences, the text balances theory with practical applications, making it an essential resource for anyone working with PDEs.

Each chapter contains a selection of relevant problems, with answers provided, along with suggestions for further reading, allowing readers to reinforce their understanding and deepen their knowledge of the subject. This text is perfect for those looking to gain a solid foundation in the application of partial differential equations to real-world scientific and engineering problems.
