Linear Partial Differential Equations

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for books on Linear Partial Differential Equations include a highly praised text that has been used extensively during undergraduate studies, with a specific mention of its effectiveness. Another suggested resource is "Boundary Value Problems" by David Powers, which focuses on applied aspects and separable PDEs. Additionally, Michael Taylor's work is noted as a classic in the field, particularly the first two volumes that cover linear equations, although it has not been personally reviewed by the contributors. These resources aim to supplement the primary textbook assigned for the class.

Just curious if anyone has any good recommendations for books or resources on Linear Partial Differential Equations. Thanks.

This book gets my highest recommendations - I used it throughout my entire undergraduate years. I even wrote a review of it on Amazon!
 
Thanks for the feedback! This is the one the professor is assigning for the class and was just hoping for one or two supplemental resources.
 
In that case another one of my favorites is Boundary Value Problems by David Powers. This is more applied and only deals with PDE's that are separable, but I found this book invaluable.
 
apparently michael taylor's was an instant classic when it came out. i haven't used it or even seen it but it's on my bucket list :-p the first two volumes cover linear equations
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

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...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

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...
