Description
Springer An Introduction to Partial Differential Equations by Michael Renardy, Robert C. Rogers
Partial differential equations are fundamental to the modeling of natural phenomena. The desire to understand the solutions of these equations has always had a prominent place in the efforts of mathematicians and has inspired such diverse fields as complex function theory, functional analysis, and algebraic topology. This book, meant for a beginning graduate audience, provides a thorough introduction to partial differential equations._x000D_ Table of contents :- _x000D_
