Salient Features NEW! Reorganization of Topics: Topics in the text have been realigned to allow for more focus on each section and to allow for more examples. The chapter on The Fourier Method has been moved earlier in the book (now Chapter 2). The former Fourier Series chapter has been split into two chapters (Chapter 3: Orthonormal Sets and Fourier Series and Chapter 4: Convergence of Fourier Series). NEW! Problem Sets Revised: Problem sets have been broken up into more manageable segments to allow for each problem set to be very focused. NEW! Examples Added: Additional examples have been added in each chapter to help illustrate important topics. Primary Focus: The text's primary focus is to find solutions to specific problems, rather than developing general theories.
