Green's Functions

The volume takes a thorough classical approach to mathematical physics, walking readers step by step through deriving Green's functions from first principles. Engineers who design and operate machines and structures will find the method practical, and readers need only an undergraduate grounding in applied mathematics to put it to use. No other book on the market covers the Green's function formalism for the equations treated here.

A distinctive feature is its treatment of potential fields in thin-walled structures, a subject where Green's functions have not been presented before. Readers get direct access to this new application alongside the general techniques.

The work is aimed at researchers in applied mathematics, mechanics and related engineering fields, as well as advanced undergraduates and graduate students.
