Does anybody know a good introductory book on PDEs? I am a physics major and something applied is what I'm looking for. It must have a good amount on Fourier methods too. Thanks.

Daverz said:Yeah, but does one really need the 4th edition? The 2nd edition is cheap. After that the publisher is just trying to force students to buy new.
One highly recommended book for beginners is "Partial Differential Equations: An Introduction" by Walter A. Strauss. It covers the basic concepts and techniques in a clear and concise manner.
Yes, there are many books that specialize in different types of PDEs, such as "Elliptic Partial Differential Equations" by Qing Han and Fanghua Lin, which focuses on elliptic equations, or "Hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations" by John A. Trangenstein, which covers hyperbolic equations.
"Partial Differential Equations" by Lawrence C. Evans is a highly recommended reference book for advanced study. It covers a wide range of topics and includes rigorous proofs and advanced techniques.
"Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers" by Stanley J. Farlow is a great book for those interested in practical applications of PDEs. It includes numerous real-world examples and exercises to help apply the concepts learned.
