Book Reviews of Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers (Dover Books on Advanced Mathematics)
Book Review: An Excellent Practical Introduction to PDEs
Summary: 4 Stars
Most other books on PDEs begin with a theoretical discussion of classification/existence and uiqueness of solutions, etc. Not to say that this is an incorrect approach to take, but if you are a scientist or an engineer, who wishes to get to the solution of a problem, rather than the theory behind the problem, you might feel a bit lost with those other books.Not so with this book - divided into 47 semi independent chapters, it looks at each of the three classes of PDEs - parabolic, hyperbolic and elliptic, discusses where they arise, and how each of these can be solved. The emphasis is more on intuition than on theory - which suits engineers and scientists pretty well. If you are interested in more advanced topics, each chapter contains pointers to more advanced books on the topic.
There is also a section (11 chapters) on numerical techniques and approximate solutions, which assume importance when seen in light of the computing power that we have these days.
Finally, there is even a PDE crossword, for those who are interested...
