Partial Differential Equations (The Graduate Studies in Mathematics, 19)

ISBN: 1470469421

Author: Lawrence C. Evans

Condition: New

This is the second edition of the now definitive text on partial differential equations (PDE). It offers a comprehensive survey of modern techniques in the theoretical study of PDE with particular emphasis on nonlinear equations. Its wide scope and clear exposition make it a great text for a graduate course in PDE. For this edition, the author has made numerous changes, including a new chapter on nonlinear wave equations, more than 80 new exercises, several new sections, a significantly expanded bibliography. About the First Edition: I have used this book for both regular PDE and topics courses. It has a wonderful combination of insight and technical detail. ? Evans' book is evidence of his mastering of the field and the clarity of presentation. -Luis Caffarelli, University of Texas It is fun to teach from Evans' book. It explains many of the essential ideas and techniques of partial differential equations ? Every graduate student in analysis should read it. -David Jerison, MIT I usePartial Differential Equationsto prepare my students for their Topic exam, which is a requirement before starting working on their dissertation. The book provides an excellent account of PDE's ? I am very happy with the preparation it provides my students. -Carlos Kenig, University of Chicago Evans' book has already attained the status of a classic. It is a clear choice for students just learning the subject, as well as for experts who wish to broaden their knowledge ? An outstanding reference for many aspects of the field. -Rafe Mazzeo, Stanford University
