Main Points Raised
- One participant seeks recommendations for books on PDEs with solved problems, expressing dissatisfaction with the current textbook used in class.
- Another participant suggests Mark Pinsky's book as a decent option for studying PDEs.
- A different participant mentions purchasing "Applied Partial Differential Equations" by Richard Haberman based on a teacher's recommendation and asks for opinions on that book.
- Another participant agrees that there are good choices available but does not specify which books they are referring to.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants have not reached a consensus on specific book recommendations, and multiple views on suitable texts remain present.
