The topics, even the most delicate, are presented in a detailed way. The book consists of two parts which focus on second order linear PDEs. Part I gives an overview of classical PDEs, that is, equations which admit strong solutions, verifying the equations pointwise. Classical solutions of the Laplace, heat, and wave equations are provided. Part I deals with variational PDEs, where weak (variational) solutions are considered. They are defined by variational formulations of the equations, based on Sobolev spaces. A comprehensive and detailed presentation of these spaces is given. Examples of variational elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic problems with different boundary conditions are discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49536158138641,"sku":"GOR004029124","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49645441909009,"sku":"GOR013621782","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49758346674449,"sku":"CIN0952535505G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50367153471761,"sku":"CIN0952535505VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0952535505.jpg?v=1751045286"},{"product_id":"auto-train-in-color-book-george-w-hamlin-9781582486840","title":"auto-train in Color","description":"\u003cp\u003eA stunning visual record of early 20th century Abyssinia and its people, with exquisite portraits and detailed descriptions of the culture and customs of the Galla tribes.

While both of its predecessors once made use of more colorful hues on their motive power, by the 1970s both roads had turned to black paint, although the Southern also included a horizontal area of off-white in what was termed the \"Tuxedo\" paint scheme.In 2012, the Norfolk Southern, led by its CEO Charles W. \"Wick\" Moorman, took to heart the suggestion of a young railroad enthusiast and launched the program that created 20 \"Heritage\" units, which utilized paint schemes from railroads that had formed the two predecessor roads. Some of these were, indeed, colorful. In subsequent years, this group of locomotives was joined by others that have liveries commemorating a variety of entities, which added to the colorful motive power fleet. In addition, it has also become increasingly common for locomotives from other railroads to operate on the NS and vice versa, adding doses of additional color to what otherwise would be rather somber-looking locomotive servicing facilities.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52515831283985,"sku":"NIN9781634995443","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"decades-of-the-airliners-the-1970s-book-george-w-hamlin-9781036192662","title":"Decades of the Airliners: The 1970s","description":"In the 1970s, the global airline industry experienced a decade of rapid growth stimulated by the advent of the \"Jet Age,\" beginning in the late 1950s and accelerating through the 1960s. A gigantic new jet aircraft, the Boeing 747, which was essentially twice as large as any previous airliner, entered service in January of 1970. The piston-to-jet transition was well in hand, with 1970 also being the year that the last U.S. \"trunk\" carrier finally stopped using aircraft with that type of propulsion. Other widebodies, including the McDonnell-Douglas DC-10, the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, and later, the Airbus A300, also began appearing at airports in the 1970s.  It was a significant decade for other developments too, and not all positive. The 1973–74 \"oil shock,\" which initially restricted fuel supplies and later caused the oil price to rise significantly, pushed many older airliners into retirement. But despite this bump in the road, the passenger side of the airline business continued on a dramatic rise, and there were major new entrants in the air cargo field as well. Richly illustrated and impeccably researched, Decades of the Airliners: The 1970s tells the complete story of this exhilarating decade in airline history.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53342150131985,"sku":"NGR9781036192662","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781036192662.jpg?v=1774480986"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-george-w-hamlin.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
