The material is organized to provide students with the tools to model, analyze and solve a wide range of engineering applications involving conduction heat transfer.
Mathematical techniques are presented in a clear and simplified fashion to be used as instruments in obtaining solutions.

The simplicity of one-dimensional conduction is used to drill students in the role of boundary conditions and to explore a variety of physical conditions that are of practical interest.
Examples are carefully selected to illustrate the application of principles and the construction of solutions.

Students are trained to follow a systematic problem solving methodology with emphasis on thought process, logic, reasoning and verification. Solutions to all examples and end-of-chapter problems follow an orderly problems solving approach.
