<p>A broad treatment of important partial differential equations, particularly emphasizing the analytical techniques. In each chapter the author raises various questions concerning the particular equations discussed, treats different methods for tackling these equations, gives applications and examples, and concludes with a list of proposed problems and a relevant bibliography. This new edition has been substantially updated to take account of the new techniques available, making it valuable for students and researchers in mathematics, physics and engineering.</p>

This highly applied text is ideal where an informal approach to partial differential equations is desired (i.e. where theorem-proof approach is not necessary.) Most chapters start with physical examples. A unified treatment of linear problems is provided, plus a comprehensive discussion of nonlinear theory that includes the effect of shock waves. Perturbation method is given a thoroughly up-to-date treatment in Chapter Eight. Furthermore each chapter concludes with problems and references.

Partial differential equations

Norwell, Massachusetts, U.S.A.: Chapman & Hall

<p>This is a text for a two-semester or three-quarter sequence of courses in partial differential equations. It is assumed that the student has a good background in vector calculus and ordinary differential equations and has been introduced to such elementary aspects of partial differential equations as separation of variables, Fourier series, and eigenfunction expansions. Some familiarity is also assumed with the application of complex variable techniques, including conformal map ping, integration in the complex plane, and the use of integral transforms. Linear theory is developed in the first half of the book and quasilinear and nonlinear problems are covered in the second half, but the material is presented in a manner that allows flexibility in selecting and ordering topics. For example, it is possible to start with the scalar first-order equation in Chapter 5, to include or delete the nonlinear equation in Chapter 6, and then to move on to the second order equations, selecting and omitting topics as dictated by the course. At the University of Washington, the material in Chapters 1-4 is covered during the third quarter of a three-quarter sequence that is part of the required program for first-year graduate students in Applied Mathematics. We offer the material in Chapters 5-8 to more advanced students in a two-quarter sequence.</p>
