This text on partial differential equations is intended for readers who want to understand the theoretical underpinnings of modern PDEs in settings that are important for the applications without using extensive analytic tools required by most advanced texts. The assumed mathematical background is at the level of multivariable calculus and basic metric space material, but the latter is recalled as relevant as the text progresses. The key goal of this book is to be mathematically complete without overwhelming the reader, and to develop PDE theory in a manner that reflects how researchers would think about the material. A concrete example is that distribution theory and the concept of weak solutions are introduced early because while these ideas take some time for the students to get used to, they are fundamentally easy and, on the other hand, play a central role in the field. Then, Hilbert spaces that are quite important in the later development are introduced via completions which give essentially all the features one wants without the overhead of measure theory. There is additional material provided for readers who would like to learn more than the core material, and there are numerous exercises to help solidify one's understanding. The text should be suitable for advanced undergraduates or for beginning graduate students including those in engineering or the sciences.
Partial Differential Equations presents a balanced and comprehensive introduction to the concepts and techniques required to solve problems containing unknown functions of multiple variables.
and postgraduate (MA/MSc) students of mathematics, and conforms to the course curriculum prescribed by UGC. The text is broadly organized into two parts.
While the classical topics of separation of variables, Fourier analysis, boundary value problems, Green's functions, and special functions continue to form the core of an introductory course, the inclusion of nonlinear equations, shock wave ...
This book offers an ideal graduate-level introduction to the theory of partial differential equations.
Teaches the Key Topics in Differential Equations The text includes all the topics that form the core of a modern undergraduate or beginning graduate course in differential equations.
This is a textbook for an introductory graduate course on partial differential equations. Han focuses on linear equations of first and second order.
This book is an introduction to methods for solving partial differential equations (PDEs).
This work aims to be of interest to those who have to work with differential equations and acts either as a reference or as a book to learn from. The authors have made the treatment self-contained.
The aim of this text is to aquaint the student with the fundamental classical results of partial differential equations and to guide them into some of the modern theory, enabling them to read more advanced works on the subject.
Easy-to-use text examines principal method of solving partial differential equations, 1st-order systems, computation methods, and much more. Over 600 exercises, with answers for many. Ideal for a 1-semester or full-year course.
