Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Green's functions are an important tool used in solving boundary value problems associated with ordinary and partial differential equations. This self-contained and systematic introduction to Green's functions has been written with applications in mind. The material is presented in an unsophisticated and rather more practical manner than usual. Consequently advanced undergraduates and beginning postgraduate students in mathematics and the applied sciences will find this account particularly attractive. Many exercises and examples have been supplied throughout to reinforce comprehension and to increase familiarity with the technique.

Book Description
Second edition of a work first published in 1980 by van Nostrand. Intended to be a self-contained and systematic introduction to the theory of Green's functions and the general ideas involved in their application to differential equations. Applicability rather than rigor is the author's main concern.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding practical discussion.   February 27, 2008

This book is an outstanding overview. While the preface claims the book is written for a senior undergraduate or a junior graduate student, this book would be a little high level for all but the most motivated undergrads. Surprisingly, this book also contains an excellent review of linear vector spaces and transformations.

The author gave a classical discussion to the classical topic. I was first impressed by the Chapter 1. The concept of green's function is well explained by the simple example.

Then, dear reader, I ask you read it by yourself. It will be an interesting journey!
