N1  - 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
N2  - 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
