Initial Boundary Value Problems in Mathematical Physics the Chesterton scholar Martin GardnerAn introduction to both classical scattering theory and to the time dependent theory of linear equations in mathematical physics, this text is suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of physics and applied mathematics. Topics include proof of the existence of wave operators, some special equations of mathematical physics including Maxwell equations, the linear equations of elasticity and thermoelasticity, and the plate equation
