This textbook provides beginning graduate students and advanced undergraduates with an accessible introduction to the rich subject of partial differential equations (PDEs). It presents a rigorous and clear explanation of the more elementary theoretical aspects of PDEs, while also drawing connections to deeper analysis and applications. The book serves as a needed bridge between basic undergraduate texts and more advanced books that require a significant background in functional analysis. Topics include first order equations and the method of characteristics, second order linear equations, wave and heat equations, Laplace and Poisson equations, and separation of variables. The book also covers fundamental solutions, Green's functions and distributions, beginning functional analysis applied to elliptic PDEs, traveling wave solutions of selected parabolic PDEs, and scalar conservation laws and systems of hyperbolic PDEs.* Provides an accessible yet rigorous introduction to partial differential equations* Draws connections to advanced topics in analysis* Covers applications to continuum mechanics* An electronic solutions manual is available only to professors* An online illustration package is available to professors

Jobs using mathematics, statistics, and operations research are projected to grow by almost 30% over the next decade. BIG Jobs Guide helps job seekers at every stage of their careers in these fields explore opportunities in business, industry, and government (BIG). Written in a conversational and practical tone, BIG Jobs Guide offers insight on topics such as: What skills can I offer employers? How do I write a high-impact resumé? Where can I find a rewarding internship? What kinds of jobs are out there for me? The Guide also offers insights to advisors and mentors on topics such as how departments can help students get BIG jobs and how faculty members and internship mentors can build institutional relationships.Whether you’re an undergraduate or graduate student or a job seeker in applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, or operations research, this hands-on book will help you reach your goal, whether landing an internship, getting your first job or transitioning to a new one.
