Methods of Mathematical Physics /
Courant, Richard, 1888-1972.
Methods of Mathematical Physics / by R. Courant and D. Hilbert. - [New ed.] - New York ; Chichester : Wiley, 1989. - 2 v. : ill. ; 23 cm. - Wiley classics library. .
Previous ed.: 1953-62. Translation of: Methoden der mathematischen Physik, 1931-37. Volume 2 alternate title: Partial differential equations.
Includes bibliography.
Introductory remarks; general theory of partial differential equations of first order; differential equations of higher order; potential theory and elliptic differential equations; hyperbolic differential equations in two independent variables; hyperbolic differential equations in more than two independent variables.
Since the first volume of this work came out in Germany in 1924, this book has remained a classic in its field. Courant and Hilbert's treatment restores the historically deep connections between physical intuition and mathematical development, providing the reader with a unified approach to mathematical physics. The present volumes represent Richard Courant's second and final revision of 1953. It will be of interest to mathematicians and physicists.
