PDE Toolbox Primer for Engineering Applications with MATLAB(R) Basics
暫譯: MATLAB(R) 基礎工程應用的 PDE 工具箱入門

本書介紹 MATLAB(R) 作為偏微分方程 (PDEs) 的基本基礎，以及 PDE 工具箱的建模器，並提供適當的解釋性解決方案，應用於工程問題。附錄包含用於解決實際工程問題的命令和函數的集合。

Dr. Leonid Burstein taught as an Associate Staff Member (ret) of the Software Engineering Department at the ORT Braude College of Engineering for 17 years. He also worked for many years as lecturer at large and taught in the Quality Assurance Department of the Kinneret Academic College and at Technion - ITI and was regularly invited as a lecturer at a number of leading universities and high schools of the Western and Lower Galilee.

Following a MA studying in thermo-physics at the Lomonosov Technological Institute at Odessa, Ukraine and a doctorate study in All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Physical-Technical and Radiotechnical Measurements at Mendeleevo, Moscow region, Russia. Burstein received his PhD in thermo-physical properties of materials from the Heat and Mass Transfer Institute of the Belarusian Academy of Sciences, Minsk in 1974.

After a short period of work in Russia and Belarus, Burstein continued his carrier at the Piston Ring Institute in Odessa, Ukraine, where he worked from 1974 to 1990 as Head of Projects and Head of the CAD/CAM group. Since 1991, he has worked at the Technion - IIT, first at the ME Faculty, then at the Quality Assurance and Reliability Program at the Faculty of IEM and later at the Taub Computer Centre as software science consultant. At the time, he also worked at the Technion Research and Development Foundation as the principal researcher in funded projects in various areas including diesel tribology and environment control. During this period, he also taught various courses at Haifa University, the Technion, the Kinneret Academic College and other institutions.

Dr Burstein is also the editor of a handbook published by the IGI Global and author of several patents. He is the author and contributor to published textbooks as well as an Editorial Broad member and reviewer for a number of international scientific journals.

萊昂尼德·布爾斯坦博士在ORT Braude工學院的軟體工程系擔任副職員（退休）長達17年。他還曾在Kinneret學院的品質保證系及Technion - ITI擔任講師多年，並定期受邀在西部和下加利利的多所知名大學和高中授課。

布爾斯坦博士在烏克蘭敖德薩的羅蒙諾索夫科技學院攻讀熱物理碩士學位，並在俄羅斯莫斯科地區的全聯邦物理技術與無線電技術測量科學研究所進行博士研究。1974年，他在白俄羅斯科學院的熱與質量傳遞研究所獲得材料熱物理性質的博士學位。

在俄羅斯和白俄羅斯短暫工作後，布爾斯坦在烏克蘭敖德薩的活塞環研究所繼續他的職業生涯，從1974年到1990年擔任專案負責人及CAD/CAM小組負責人。自1991年以來，他在Technion - IIT工作，最初在機械工程系，然後在工業工程與管理系的品質保證與可靠性計畫，後來在陶布電腦中心擔任軟體科學顧問。當時，他還在Technion研究與發展基金會擔任主要研究員，負責多個資助項目的研究，涵蓋柴油摩擦學和環境控制等多個領域。在此期間，他還在海法大學、Technion、Kinneret學院及其他機構教授各種課程。

布爾斯坦博士也是IGI Global出版的手冊編輯，並擁有多項專利。他是多本教科書的作者和貢獻者，並擔任多個國際科學期刊的編輯委員會成員及審稿人。
