A classic treatise on partial differential equations, this comprehensive work by one of America's greatest early mathematical physicists covers the basic method, theory, and application of partial differential equations. Detailed coverage includes Fourier series; integral and elliptic equations; spherical, cylindrical, and ellipsoidal harmonics; Cauchy's method; boundary problems; and Riemann-Volterra method.
Harvard graduate Arthur Gordon Webster (1863-1923) studied physics in Berlin with Hermann von Helmholtz. He taught at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, one of the first American universities to offer a doctoral program in physics, and was founder and President of the American Physical Society.
