Partial Differential Equations of Mathematical Physics [Paperback]

This book is a classic example of Bateman's work.Harry Bateman (18821946) was an esteemed mathematician particularly known for his work on special functions and partial differential equations. Partial Differential Equations of Mathematical Physics was developed chiefly with the aim of obtaining exact analytical expressions for the solution of the boundary problems of mathematical physics.Harry Bateman (18821946) was an esteemed mathematician particularly known for his work on special functions and partial differential equations.
