TRANSFORMS AND PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

FOR

THIRD SEMESTER ENGINEERING STUDENTS


ANNA UNIVERSITY SYLLABUS (R-2008-2009)

This text contains some of the most important short-answer (Part A) and long- answer
questions (Part B) and their answers. Each unit contains 30 university questions. Thus, a
total of 150 questions and their solutions are given. A student who studies these model
problems will be able to get pass mark (hopefully!!).
