517.958 Equations intégrales et différentielles de la physique mathématique |
Résumé : |
The book begins with a short review of some topics from general physics that then provide the physical contexts for the later discussions. Thus, for example, the concept of magnetic flux serves to give physical meaning to the integral theorems of vector calculus; the a conducting sphere in an electric field, a vibrating drum head, the harmonic oscillator, and a particle in a box illustrate the discussion of differential equations; and coupled oscillators and the principal axes of a rotating rigid body supply the physical context for the discussion of matrices. |

- Complex Numbers
- Differential Equations
- Partial Differential Equations
- Eigenvalue Problems
- Orthogonal Functions
- Matrix Formulation of the Eigenvalue Problem
- Variational Principles |
