Although designed for use in the undergraduate classroom, this
accessible text uses examples, illustrations and exercises so
efficiently this could double as a self-study guide. The authors, (both
mathematics, U. of West Bohemia) cover mathematical models - Note: The term model has a different meaning in model theory, a branch of mathematical logic. An artifact which is used to illustrate a mathematical idea is also called a mathematical model and this usage is the reverse of the sense explained below.

solutions of boundary value problems for stationary equations, methods
of integral transforms, general principles (including the energy method
and Laplace equation), Laplace and Poisson equations in higher
dimensions Higher dimension as a term in mathematics most commonly refers to any number of spatial dimensions greater than three.
The three standard dimensions are length, width, and breadth (or height). , diffusion equations in higher dimensions, and wave equations
in higher dimensions, with appendices on the Sturm-Liouville problem and
Bessel functions.
