Implementing Spectral Methods for Partial Differential Equations

This book is aimed to be both a textbook for graduate students and a starting point for applicationsscientists. It is designedto show how to implementspectral methods to approximate the solutions of partial differential equations. It presents a syst- atic development of the fundamental algorithms needed to write spectral methods codes to solve basic problems of mathematical physics, including steady potentials, transport, and wave propagation.
