Reihe: Texts in Applied Mathematics

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.
