Salsa S. Partial Differential Equations in Action: From Modelling to Theory

Springer, 2008. - 450 pages.This book is designed as an advanced undergraduate or a first-year graduatecourse for students from various disciplines like applied mathematics,physics, engineering.
The main purpose is on the one hand to train the students to appreciate the interplay between theory and modelling in problems arising in the applied sciences; on the other hand to give them a solid theoretical background for numerical methods, such as finite elements.
