Excellent reference for practising analytical chemists.......2001-03-04

This text is an excellent reference for practising analytical chemists. As the title indicates, the emphasis is on analytical chemistry, not physical chemistry. It presents the physical aspects of electrochemical phenomena lucidly, without getting bogged down in the tedium of deriving & solving diffusion equations. The text is comprehensive in treating the major electroanalytical experiments, written by leaders in their respective fields. I give this to graduate students in analytical chemistry and find that they really like it. It is well-referenced, has good figures & tables, and is reasonably priced. This text is a must for transferring your ideas for experiments to the bench.

Book Description

The subject of partial differential equations has an unchanging core of material but is constantly expanding and evolving. Introduction to Partial Differential Equations with MATLAB is a careful integration of traditional core topics with modern topics, taking full advantage of the computational power of MATLAB to enhance the learning experience.

This advanced text/reference is an introduction to partial differential equations covering the traditional topics within a modern context. To provide an up-to-date treatment, techniques of numerical computation have been included with carefully selected nonlinear topics, including nonlinear first order equations. Each equation studied is placed in the appropriate physical context. The analytical aspects of solutions are discussed in an integrated fashion with extensive examples and exercises, both analytical and computational. The book is excellent for classroom use and can be used for self-study purposes.

Topic and Features:

• Nonlinear equations including nonlinear conservation laws;

• Dispersive wave equations and the Schrodinger equation;

• Numerical methods for each core equation including finite difference methods, finite element methods, and the fast Fourier transform;

• Extensive use of MATLAB programs in exercise sets. MATLAB m files for numerical and graphics programs available by ftp from this web site.

This text/reference is an excellent resources designed to introduce advanced students in mathematics, engineering and sciences to partial differential equations. It is also suitable as a self-study resource for professionals and practitioners.

Not bad, but the 2nd edition will hopefully be better.......2002-02-03

This is a fairly challenging text. It's currently being used in my undergrad PDE course, and the flow of material is a bit out of the ordinary. The book starts off with the method of characteristics and weak solutions, which are slightly more sophisticated and unusual topics than some of the later material, making it difficult to get started. The focus on using Matlab is nice, and most things are fairly well-explained. Typographical errors are rampant, however, making it very poor for self-study (you need someone to point out the errors to you).

All in all, not bad -- the second edition will hopefully be much better, and if you have a decent grounding in multivariate calc and ODE's, you'll be OK.

An excellent rough draft of a textbook........1998-12-22

Cooper's book does some things quite well. While most courses on PDE's are reduced to repetitive applications of separation of variables and Fourier series, Cooper offers a new approach. He goes by equation rather than by technique, and introduces nonlinear equations and numerical methods very early. Separation of variables and Fourier series do not come up until Chapter 4. The first chapter, which reviews elements of analysis, is a very good reference. MATLAB is well incorporated throughout the text.

The reason I do not rate this book more highly is that the writing is unbelievably sloppy. There are at least five typos per chapter, usually more. Crucial things, like Green's first identity, are misprinted. There are dozens of typos in the answers in the back, which makes it very hard to check your work.

Book Description

An Introduction to Partial Differential Equations with MATLAB exposes the basic ideas critical to the study of PDEs-- characteristics, integral transforms, Green's functions, and, most importantly, Fourier series and related topics. The author approaches the subject from a motivational perspective, detailing equations only after a need for them has been established. He uses MATLAB software to solve exercises and to generate tables and figures. Included This volume includes are examples of many important PDEs and their applications. The first chapter introduces PDEs and makes analogies to familiar ODE concepts, then strengthens the connection by exploring the method of separation of variables. Chapter 2 examines the "Big Three" PDEs-- the heat, wave, and Laplace equations, and is followed by chapters explaining how these and other PDEs on finite intervals can be solved using the Fourier series, for arbitrary initial and boundary conditions. Chapter 5 investigates characteristics for both first- and second-order linear PDEs, the latter revealing how the Big Three equations are important far beyond their original application to physical problems. The book extends the Fourier method to functions on unbounded domains, gives a brief introduction to distributions, then applies separation of variables to PDEs in higher dimensions, leading to the special funtions, including the orthogonal polynomials. Other topics include Sturm-Liouville problems, adjoint and self-adjoint problems, the application of Green's functions to solving nonhomogeneous PDEs, and an examination of practical numerical methods used by engineers, including the finite difference, finite element, and spectral methods.

Good and Clear.......2005-08-08

I used this book for the first time this past semester. It is well written, although a bit informal for my taste (although the students seemed to like it). There are numerous exercises, although sometimes too many of the plug-and-chug variety, and I wish there were a few more of the highly challenging problems. The order of topics is exactly the way I like it, except that Chapter 5 is a little out of place. However, in a course like this I think it may be impossible to find a natural place for the method of characteristics. Most texts put it first, which doesn't seem right for a course that emphasizes Fourier methods. For our course, I interchanged Chapters 5 and 6. The MATLAB is not heavily integrated. That is a good thing, for a couple of reasons. It means that the mathematics, and not MATLAB, is the main focus, and it allows the text to be used with or without it. We did use MATLAB and it worked well. Overall, this was a good basic introduction to the subject. It steers a course between mathematical rigor on the one hand, and computation, physical intuition and applications on the other, and it does so quite well. I could envision its being used for a higher level course for scientists and engineers, though not for a course with a more theoretical bent.

Very well written with excellent explanations........2004-11-19

First, I have to say that I'm biased because I'm a former student of Prof. Coleman's (Multivariable Calc and ODE's). But I was happy to see that he had written a PDE book and I bought it so that I could relearn PDE's, since the PDE course I had wasn't so great. I haven't been disappointed. I've read most of the first six chapters so far - the book is easy to read and the explanations are clear. There are tons of homework problems and applications. However, I don't have access to MATLAB so I can't really comment on that aspect of the book.
