MHB Advanced PDE Books: Expert Level Resources

AI Thread Summary
Advanced texts in partial differential equations (PDEs) discussed include "Partial Differential Equations" by E.T. Copson and "Fourier Series and Boundary Value Problems" by R.V. Churchill and J.W. Brown. These are considered more advanced than basic PDE books like "Elementary Partial Differential Equations" by Berg and McGregor and "Applied Partial Differential Equations" by Richard Haberman. Another recommended resource is "Partial Differential Equations of Mathematical Physics and Integral Equations" by Ronald B. Guenther and John W. Lee, noted for its affordability. Craig Evans' "Partial Differential Equations" is also highlighted, though it requires a solid foundation in measure theory and functional analysis. The discussion emphasizes the importance of selecting texts that align with the reader's existing knowledge and course requirements.

What are some books that are more advanced then the basic PDE books?

One can not forget about Craig Evan's Partial Differential Equations (to make it through this book, though, you should have a good understanding of measure theory and functional analysis).

Do you think those are beyond Elementary Partial Differential Equations by Berg and McGregor and Applied Partial Differential Equations with Fourier series and Boundary Value Problems by Richard Haberman?

Sorry, but I haven't used any of the books you mentioned. The two books that I mentioned are recommended text for a course in partial differential equations in our undergraduate curriculum.
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
