Hi everyone,
First of all, this is an awesome place :)
I'm looking for a differential equation book, with partial differential equation (and Fourier series solution) that really goes into physics.
I'm a 3-year undergrad student in Physics so I already know a little about it.
By the way, for now my favorite subject is electrodynamics.

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
