Transform methods provide a bridge between the commonly used method of separation of variables and numerical techniques for solving linear partial differential equations. While in some ways similar to separation of variables, transform methods can be effective for a wider class of problems. Even when the inverse of the transform cannot be found analytically, numeric and asymptotic techniques now... Read more

Biography
Dean G. Duffy
“This book provides a detailed account of the application of transform methods to solving linear PDEs in science and engineering. The main techniques studied are the Fourier and Laplace transform, Hankel transforms, and the Wiener-Hopf technique. In this second edition the references have been extended and numerical and asymptotic techniques are included. It provides a valuable source of concrete examples from diverse fields of applications with detailed solutions.”
— M. Kunzinger
“The discussed solutions typically involve quite difficult algebra, while non-trivial mathematical steps, such as a change of order of integration or expansion into infinite series (product) are not justified. This gives the book more of an ‘engineering’ flavour; nonetheless it is certainly of interest to a wider interest.”
—EMS Newsletter, Sept. 2005
“The book contains many examples and exercises taken from a wide variety of scientific and engineering sources. Also numerical examples are presented using Matlab to help readers for better understanding of the physical problems.”
