Methods of Mathematical Physics / by R. Courant and D. Hilbert.

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextSeries: Wiley classics libraryPublication details: New York ; Chichester : Wiley, 1989.Edition: [New ed.]Description: 2 v. : ill. ; 23 cmISBN:
  • 0471504394 (Wileyclassics library edition, v. 2)

Uniform titles:
  • English.
Subject(s): LOC classification:
  • QA401 .C72413 2004
Contents:
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.
Summary: 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.
