New and updated features of this title

Chapter 2 offers an improved, simpler presentation of the linearity principle, showing that the heat equation is a linear equation.
Chapter 4 contains a straightforward derivation of the vibrating membrane, an improvement over previous editions.
Additional simpler exercises now appear throughout the text.
Hints are offered for many of the exercises in which partial differential equations are solved in chapters 2, 4, 5, 7, and 10—the core of a typical first course. These hints often include the separation for the variables of variables themselves, so the problem is more straightforward for students.
