Includes bibliographical references and index
Handbook of Linear Partial Differential Equations for Engineers and Scientists by Andrei D. Polyanin and Vladimir E. Nazaikinskii is a comprehensive reference work that compiles a vast collection of linear partial differential equations (PDEs), along with their exact solutions and solution methods.
The book is designed primarily for engineers and scientists working in applied mathematics and related fields. It presents thousands of linear PDEs—including first-, second-, and higher-order equations—covering major types such as elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic, and mixed equations, with both constant and variable coefficients.
In addition to listing equations and solutions, the handbook outlines analytical, symbolic, and numerical methods used to solve these equations. It also includes boundary value and initial-boundary value problems, as well as systems of coupled PDEs, supported by illustrative examples.
The work emphasizes practical applicability, demonstrating how PDEs arise in many scientific and engineering domains such as heat and mass transfer, fluid dynamics, wave propagation, elasticity, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, and control theory.
Overall, the handbook serves as both a reference database of solved PDE problems and a practical guide to solution techniques, making it a valuable resource for research, teaching, and applied problem-solving in mathematical physics and engineering.
