An Introduction to Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

This introductory textbook on nonlinear partial differential equations is technique oriented with an emphasis on applications and is designed to build a foundation for studying advanced treatises in the field. The Second Edition features an updated bibliography as well as an increase in the number of exercises.

"This book is an ideal text for applied mathematics courses at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. It also serves as a valuable resource for researchers and professionals in the fields of mathematics, biology, engineering, and physics who would like to further their knowledge of PDEs." ( Mathematical Reviews , 2009c)
