First treatise of math problem [2006-03-15]

It' s important text to start study theory of thermal flow in one or two dimension. We can find a ease application of ellipsoidal harmonics and we have many examples that help the student to understand the math problem.

few graphs, many examples [2006-01-28]

Another in Dover's series of reissues of long out of print books. Here we get Byerly's masterful text on Fourier analysis. A century old. But the notation is essentially still used today. The font is old fashioned. Since partly to save costs, Dover did a photoreproduction of the original text, instead of resetting the text.

Another thing to note is that there are very few graphs, as compared to a modern book. Typical of texts of its time. But numerous examples are worked out, and you can profitably go through these.

William Elwood Byerly (13 December 1849 - 20 December 1935) was an American mathematician. He was the Perkins Professor of Mathematics at Harvard University. He was noted for his excellent teaching and textbooks.[1] Byerly was the first to receive a Ph.D. from Harvard, and Harvard's chair "William Elwood Byerly Professor in Mathematics" is named after him. Byerly Hall in Radcliffe Yard, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University is also named for him.

Among the textbooks he wrote are:

• Elements of the Differential Calculus (1879)
• Harmonic Functions (1906)
• Problems in Differential Calculus
• Introduction to the Calculus of Variations (1917)
• Elements of the Integral Calculus (1881)
• An Elementary Treatise on Fourier's Series (1893)
• An Introduction to the Use of Generalized Coordinates in Mechanics and Physics (1916)

William Elwood Byerly was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1849. He attended Harvard Univeristy for both undergraduate and graduate study. In 1873 he was one of the first two people to be granted a Ph.D. from the college. He was a noted mathematician and professor of mathematics at Harvard. He died in 1935.
