Green's functions and boundary value problems

Ivar Stakgold incorporates developments that have altered the field of applied mathematics in recent decades—particularly in areas of modeling, Fourier analysis, fixed-point theorems, inverse problems, asymptotics, and nonlinear methods. This modernized text, however, retains the many features that made its predecessor one of the most successful graduate-level texts of its kind, including:

• A unique blend of topics
• A balanced discussion of theory and applications
• 44 illustrations and numerous practical examples that supplement the text
• Chapter introductions and clear explanations of basic concepts
• Plentiful exercises, many of which are new to this edition

Green's Functions and Boundary Value Problems is an ideal text for a modern course in applied mathematics designed for students in the physical sciences, engineering, and mathematics. It is also an excellent reference for practicing professionals in these areas.
