Covers the fundamental properties of partial differential equations (PDEs) and proven techniques useful in analyzing them. Uses a broad approach to illustrate the rich diversity of phenomena such as vibrations of solids, fluid flow, molecular structure, photon and electron interactions, radiation of electromagnetic waves encompassed by this subject as well as the role PDEs play in modern mathematics, especially geometry and analysis.… (more)

This text is widely disparaged by underdgraduate students and with good reason. The writing is hasty, unclear, and the the author expects much of the reader. DO NOT BOTHER even cracking this book open unless you have had three semesters of calculus, a course on ordinary differential equations, and a course on real analysis. Results from all are used and expected to be known of the reader. The problems are very difficult. Luckily I had a professor who typed up detailed solutions to all the problems and made them available for borrowing and printing at the library. Go elsewhere. There are better books (
