Note publique d'information : Mathematics is playing an ever more important role in the physical and biological
sciences, provoking a blurring of boundaries between scientific disciplines and a
resurgence of interest in the modern as well as the cl- sical techniques of applied
mathematics. This renewal of interest, both in research and teaching, has led to the
establishment of the series: Texts in Applied Mathematics (TAM). The development of
new courses is a natural consequence of a high level of excitement on the research
frontier as newer techniques, such as numerical and symbolic computer systems, dynamical
systems, and chaos mix with and reinforce the traditional methods of applied mathematics.
Thus, the purpose of this textbook series is to meet the current and future needs
of these advances and encourage the teaching of new courses. TAM will publish textbooks
suitable for use in advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate courses, and will
complement the Applied Ma- ematical Sciences (AMS) series, which will focus on advanced
textbooks and research-level monographs. Preface "It is impossible to exaggerate the
extent to which modern applied mathematics has been shaped and fueled by the g- eral
availability of fast computers with large memories. Their impact on mathematics, both
applied and pure, is comparable to the role of the telescopes in astronomy and microscopes
in biology." — Peter Lax, Siam Rev. Vol. 31 No. 4 Congratulations! You have chosen
to study partial differential equations
