- A participant mentions that the recommended book is assigned by their professor and requests additional supplemental resources.
- One participant endorses a different book, highlighting its quality.
- Another participant suggests "Boundary Value Problems" by David Powers, noting its focus on separable PDEs and its practical application.
- A participant references Michael Taylor's work as a classic in the field, expressing a desire to read it despite not having used it yet.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants generally agree on the value of the recommended books, but there are multiple suggestions and no consensus on a single best resource.

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
