Handbook of Exact Solutions to Mathematical Equations

Andrei D. Polyanin, D.Sc., Ph.D., is a well-known scientist of broad interests and is active in various areas of mathematics, theory of heat and mass transfer, hydrodynamics, and chemical engineering sciences. He is one of the most prominent authors in the field of reference literature on mathematics. Professor Polyanin graduated with honors from the Department of Mechan- ics and Mathematics at the Lomonosov Moscow State University in 1974. Since 1975, Professor Polyanin has been working at the Ishlinsky Institute for Problems in Mechanics of the Russian (former USSR) Academy of Sciences, where he defended his Ph.D. in 1981 and D.Sc. degree in 1986.

Professor Polyanin has made important contributions to the theory of differential and integral equations, mathematical physics, applied and engineering mathematics, the theory of heat and mass transfer, and hydrodynamics. He develops analytical methods for constructing solutions to mathematical equations of various types and has obtained a huge number of exact solutions of ordinary differential, partial differential, delay partial differential, integral, and functional equations.

Professor Polyanin is an author of more than 30 books and over 270 articles and holds three patents. His books include V. F. Zaitsev and A. D.
