Product Description
Review
The book is very well written, equipped with numerous exercises and applications and will serve as a very good textbook both for masters and PhD students. (EMS Newsletter )
Product Description
Partial differential equations are a central concept in mathematics. They are used in mathematical models of a huge range of real-world phenomena, from electromagnetism to financial markets. This new edition of the well-known text by Ockendon et al., providing an enthusiastic and clear guide to the theory and applications of PDEs, provides timely updates on: transform methods (especially multidimensional Fourier transforms and the Radon transform); explicit representations of general solutions of the wave equation; bifurcations; the Wiener-Hopf method; free surface flows; American options; the Monge-Ampere equation; linear elasticity and complex characteristics; as well as numerous topical exercises. This book is ideal for students of mathematics, engineering and physics seeking a comprehensive text in the modern applications of PDEs

Format:Paperback
This book covers the basic elements of partial differential equations, covering first order linear and non-linear PDEs to basic facts and techniques for elliptic, hyperbolic and parabolic 2nd order PDEs as well as free boundary problems and other useful topics. You will have to do some work to get to grips with the information as it can be contained in lengthly paragraphs but the information is there. All in all if you want to know something about PDEs then read this book

Excellent
25 Oct 2005
Format:Paperback
This is probably the very best upper undergrad/graduate level textbook on applied partial differential equations.
The book is written by leading academics with extensive experience in applied mathematics and industrial engineering problems, who worked and taught the subject for decades. What I particularly like about it is that gives not only the technical details, but also a very broad overview of the subject.
The first 6 chapters, which constitute a self contained upper level course, start (very naturally) with quasi linear first order PDE's, then systems of first order PDE's, and from that move to the classification of linear 2nd order PDE's, then to the canonical topics of hyperbolic, elliptic and parabolic equations (in that order). Following that, 3 more chapters cover a number of more advanced topics: free boundary conditions, non quasi linear equations, and miscellaneous topics.
The book is written by applied mathematicians for applied mathematics students. It hardly contains any functional analysis or distribution theory, but emphasizes effective methods for approaching practical problems. However, the book is NOT light reading, but is meant for serious students at serious universities.
