Overview
Published by McGraw-Hill since its first edition in 1941, this classic text is an introduction to Fourier series and their applications to boundary value problems in partial differential equations of engineering and physics. It will primarily be used by students with a background in ordinary differential equations and advanced calculus. There are two main objectives of this text. The first is to introduce the concept of orthogonal sets of functions and representations of arbitrary functions in series of functions from such sets. The second is a clear presentation of the classical method of separation of variables used in solving boundary value problems with the aid of those representations.Editorials

Mathematicians Brown (U. of Michigan-Dearborn) and Churchill (d. 1987) introduce the Fourier series and their applications to boundary value problems in partial differential equations of engineering and physics to students who have completed a first course in ordinary differential equations. They footnote texts that give proofs of the more delicate results in advanced calculus that are occasionally needed, and explain the physical application in some detail but on a fairly elementary level. A number of major changes have been made since the 1993 fifth edition. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
