Book Reviews of Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers (Dover Books on Advanced Mathematics)
Book Review: Wanna teach yourself PDE's?
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want to teach yourself PDE's, then this is certainly a great, and affordable book to get started with. As other reviewers have said, the book could certainly go into more depth, but there is no one book that can completely teach you one subject. My advice would definitely be to use this book to get started, and to use other books to go further.Book Review: Simply Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is simple, interesting to read, just like a story book or a news article, and can be used as an introductory textbook for PDEs.Book Review: A great book...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book for PDE I use it a lot in my school and in my job.Book Review: Great Reference
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is an ideal companion for a graduate, or undergraduate, course in partial differential equations. There are worked examples and very useful definitions throughout the text. Additionally, the text is written as lessons and any lesson can be read and understood without reading the previous lessons. The best part is that this book is an order of magnitude cheaper than most college level texts and is largely more valuable.Book Review: Partial differential equations made easy
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is by far one of the most understandable and concise texts in pde's that I have ever seen, the purpose of the book is for engineers and physics students that want to understand the applications. The book is broken down to 47 lessons that can be read in about an hour or so per lesson. The author also gives very useful references for more advanced study. I recommend this text for anyone that has to take an engineering or physics pde course.
I have been a full time university math tutor for the past 13 years and I strongly recommend this text for any applied science student.The treatment of non-homogenous pde's and applications of fourier transforms to pde's is very unique. This book also does an excellent job of going over numerical techniques of solving heat equation, wave equation and laplace equation.
