Críticas

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This second edition of the short undergraduate text provides a fist course in PDE aimed at students in mathematics, engineering and the sciences. The material is standard ... . Strong emphasis is put on modeling and applications throughout; the main text is supplied with many examples and exercises." (R. Steinbauer, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 150 (4), 2007)

"This book contains an elementary introduction of partial differential equations to undergraduate students in mathematics, engineering, and physical sciences. ... This is a unique book in the sense that it provides a coverage of the main topics of the subject in a concise style which is accessible to science and engineering students. ... Reading this book and solving the problems, the students will have a solid base for a course in partial differential equations ... ." (Tibor Krisztin, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum, Vol. 74, 2008)

Reseña del editor

This text is written for the standard, one-semester, undergraduate course in elementary partial differential equations. The topics include derivations of some of the standard equations of mathematical physics (including the heat equation, the wave equation, and Laplace's equation) and methods for solving those equations on bounded and unbounded domains. Methods include eigenfunction expansions, or separation of variables, and methods based on Fourier and Laplace transforms.
