Does entropy really increase no matter what we do? Can light pass through a Big Bang? What is certain about the Heisenberg uncertainty principle? Many laws of physics are formulated in terms of differential equations, and the questions above are about the nature of their solutions. This book puts to
<span>Partial differential equations are a vital part of any course in pure or applied mathematics. This book will be invaluable to anyone looking for a lucid but comprehensive introduction to PDEs. Designed to strike a balance between theory and practical problems, it covers all major methods as we
<p><P>These lectures concentrate on (nonlinear) stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE) of evolutionary type. All kinds of dynamics with stochastic influence in nature or man-made complex systems can be modelled by such equations. <BR>To keep the technicalities minimal we confine ourselves
