Synopsis
Sturm-Liouville problems (SLPs)--an applied mathematics tool developed in the nineteenth century and a driving force of pure mathematics in the early twentieth century--became of vital interest to physicists with the advent of Schrodinger's equations. Today's fascinating variety of SL-related computations reflects this diverse historical background. This book was written for scientists and engineers who desire an introduction to simple SLPs, their limitations, the algorithms that overcome these limitations, and available software. Numerical analysts seeking a reference on good SLP methods, theory, implementation, and performance will also want to own a copy of this book. Treatments of the underlying mathematical theories and numerous helpful problems round out this superb new volume., Numerical methods date from the 1920s: in quantum physics literature, often for one type of problem and of limited accuracy; in numerical literature, accurate and efficient on a class of (usually regular) problem but hard to automate. General ODE boundary value software solves SLPs reliably but inefficiently. It is worth developing special methods to cope with the variety of behaviour singular SLPs display. The book is intended for the scientist/engineer who wants simple methods for simple SLPs but needs to know their limitations, the algorithms that overcome these and the software that embodies these algorithms. It is also for the numerical analyst who wants a reference on good SLP methods, their theory, implementation and performance. The basic mathematical theory as it relates to algorithms is covered in some detail. There are numerous problems.

    Seller sent the wrong head cover. But made it right and sent me the correct one and just told me to keep the one he sent by accident. Good communication and saved me a lot of stress.
