Summary:

Boundary Value Problems, Fourth Edition is a long-awaited revision of a classic and very popular textbook for an introductory course on boundary value problems. Powers has written a thorough, theoretical overview of solving partial differential equations by the methods of separation of variables. The text is comprised of five comprehensive parts which include a prerequisite summary of ordinary differential equations, Fourier series, and solving linear partial differential equations by separation of variables methods, by Laplace transform methods, and by numerical methods. The author is also a master at creating linear problems where the techniques of separation of variables have been used to solve science and engineering problems.
