Publisher Description
Intended for a college senior or first-year graduate-level course in partial differential equations, this text offers students in mathematics, engineering, and the applied sciences a solid foundation for advanced studies in mathematics. Classical topics presented in a modern context include coverage of integral equations and basic scattering theory. This complete and accessible treatment includes a variety of examples of inverse problems arising from improperly posed applications. Exercises at the ends of chapters, many with answers, offer a clear progression in developing an understanding of this essential area of mathematics. 1988 edition.
Customer Reviews
good size, good proofs, interesting topics
It's got dense and concise material (well done), and is very "carryable". Includes scattering theory and many underlying topics like fredholm theory (see index) not in other popular books. However it requires (purchase of other books) before the 3rd chapter (ie, John 1955) (the reader is directed to do so if they are not already profficient in ... a subject area). The author is good at offering well devised certain proof. It is not introductory comparing to today's college books - infact some today's (popular) college "intro to PDE" 900 page books will not suffice to finish ch. 2 in a covered flowing manner). I would not say "Intruductory", personally, but realize in the past it may have been considered so in certain departments.
