Download or read book Applied Integral Transforms written by M. Ya. Antimirov and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2007 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constructs the kernels of integral transforms by solving the generalized Sturm-Liouville problems associated with the partial differential equations at hand. In the first part of the book, the authors construct the kernels and use them to solve elementary problems of mathematical physics. This part requires little mathematical background and provides an introduction to the subject of integral transforms as it proceeds mainly by examples and includes a variety of exercises. In the second part of the book, the method of integral transforms is used to solve modern applied problems in convective stability, temperature fields in oil strata, and eddy-current testing. The choice of topics reflects the authors' research experience and involvement in industrial applications. The first part of the book is accessible to undergraduates, while the second part is aimed at graduate students and researchers. Because of the applications, the book will interest engineers (especially petroleum engineers) and physicists.
