equations (PDEs) predict how fields vary in space and time, and
they are hence of vital importance in physics and engineering.
In spite of this central role, PDEs have not yet received the
attention they deserve in college curricula. This is because
very few exact solutions exist, and numerical solutions are
cumbersome, to the extent that the latter are taught within
separate academic disciplines, such as Applied Mathematics,
Numerical Analysis, or Computation. These disciplines focus on
numerical methods, however, rather than actual solutions and are
mostly of little practical value to scientists and engineers. A
program now available on the web solves PDEs in seconds on a
simple PC. The Student Version of FlexPDE is FREE! The user only
needs superficial knowledge of how solutions are generated by
the program. This volume is a sequel to Fields of Physics by
FEA, which explains the bases of FlexPDE. The Student Version is
utilized in the present self-i
