Reseña del editor: This book is intended for a three or four semester course in "Partial Differential Equations". It is based on a four-semester course taught at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The goal of this class was to provide the background necessary to initiate work on a PhD thesis in partial differential equations. The book opens with an introduction to the subject matter and its characteristics which contain the Cauchy-Kovalevskaya Theorem and Holmgren's Uniqueness Theorem. Conversation laws and shocks are then covered, followed by maximum principles and function spaces. Linear elliptic equations and nonlinear elliptic equations are also included. The text concludes with energy methods for evolution problems and semigroup methods. In the standard graduate curriculum, the subject of partial differential equations is seldom taught with the same thoroughness as algebra or integration theory. This book is aimed at rectifying the situation, by going further than the competition. There are numerous other textbooks on partial differntial equations, but few are directed at a beginning graduate audience as this one is. The level of the book is aimed at beginning graduate students. Prerequisites include a truly advanced calculus course and basic complex variables, but no knowledge is required of Lebesque integration theory or functional analysis. This book should provide a thorough introduction to partial differential equations, bringing the students up to the level at which research can begin.
