Di_erential

Preface

Nowadays_ not only tackling the phenomena of physics_ but also many issues in technology_ engineering and production_ oftentimes require complicated mathematical processing_ Recently_ a CEO of an industrial plant revealed that_ through application of a boundary value problem of elastic stress_ he was able to save __ percent in material_ It seems that close cooperation of science with technology and production is more relevant today than ever_ Many processes of production and technology can be simulated through di_erential equations_ Knowledge of these mathematical procedures and their applications is therefore not only essential in theory for the student_ but also vital for the practitioner_ the engineer_ physicist or technologist_Grounded on __ years of teaching experience in classical and applied physics_the author directs this book to the practitioner_ who _nds him_herself confronted with boundary value problems_ The book does not contain mathematical theorems
