Review
'Hydon's book stands out as perhaps the best introductory level text currently available ... Hydon's book is extremely well-written, and a welcome addition to the literature on Lie's methods. The author has clearly devoted a lot of effort to pedagogical details, and the exposition is designed to effortlessly bring the beginning student up to speed in basic applications of the method.' Peter Olver, ZAMM
'I really enjoyed reading this book and I am planning on using some parts for one of my next courses.' Monatshefte für Mathematik
'... a nice introduction to symmetry methods for ordinary and partial differential equations written with passion by a specialist ... after a few pages it becomes clear that the book is written in a lucid and precise manner.' Zentralblatt MATH
Book Description
A good working knowledge of symmetry methods is very valuable for those working with mathematical models. This book is a straightforward introduction to the subject for applied mathematicians, physicists, and engineers. The informal presentation uses many worked examples to illustrate the major symmetry methods. Written at a level suitable for postgraduates and advanced undergraduates, the text will enable readers to master the main techniques quickly and easily. The book contains some methods not previously published in a text, including those methods for obtaining discrete symmetries and integrating factors.
