He is one of the most prominent authors in the field of reference literature on mathematics and physics. Polyanin, D.Sc., Ph.D., is a well-known scientist of broad interests who is active in various areas of mathematics, mechanics, and chemical engineering sciences. Manzhirov, Handbook of Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists, Chapman & Hall/CRC Press, 2007.Īndrei D. William Schiesser, Lehigh University -This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.įrom the book by A.D.

I think these books are extraordinary, and are destined to become classics CRC Press has provided an invaluable service to science and engineering by publishing these books.

I have been reading the Polyanin books Handbook of Linear Partial Differential Equations for Engineers and Scientists and Handbook of Exact Solutions for Ordinary Differential Equations. In one volume it contains over 2,000 solutions to linear partial differential equations It is not a solution manual to accompany a textbook, but an information resource of advanced level for professionals a great addition for research and academic collections. This very useful book has no competitors.Ī good example of a reference information resource named 'Handbook.' It is an information tool: comprehensive, condensed, descriptive in 'Contents,' authoritative, and practical. The logical organization-by type of equation and number of variables-makes finding entries easy. One-stop shopping for scientists and engineers who need a cookbook solution for partial differential equations. Two supplements at the end of the book furnish more tools and information: Supplement A lists the properties of common special functions, including the gamma, Bessel, degenerate hypergeometric, and Mathieu functions, and Supplement B describes the methods of generalized and functional separation of variables for nonlinear partial differential equations. It also provides useful formulas for expressing solutions to boundary value problems of general form in terms of the Green's function. Second- and higher-order equations and boundary value problemsĪn introductory section outlines the basic definitions, equations, problems, and methods of mathematical physics.Formulas for constructing solutions to nonhomogeneous boundary value problems.
