The textbook and accompanying software is significantly more detailed than typical introductions to partial differential equations, they say, and provide examples on setting up physical problems as mathematical ones, solving partial differential equations under different types of boundary conditions, working with special functions, and carrying out a Fourier analysis using these functions.
Numerical methods for partial differential equations use different discretizations of space and time and have different mathematical properties, like convergence and accuracy.
And so this ease of use is one of the notable features of the latest release, Maple 12-which also has improvements to solvers for differential equations, partial differential equations, and algebraic equations.
