Looking for Good Textbooks on Statistics and PDE?

AI Thread Summary
A recent discussion focused on textbook recommendations for someone with a B.S. in Math and a Physics minor who is seeking resources in Probability, Statistics, and Partial Differential Equations (PDE). For PDE, "Elementary Applied Partial Differential Equations" by Haberman was highlighted as a solid choice, especially in its older editions, which are affordable. Another recommendation was "Boundary Value Problems and Fourier Expansions" by MacCluer, noted for its mathematical depth, and "Fourier Series and Boundary Value Problems" by Churchill and Brown, recognized as a classic. In the realm of statistics, "Introduction to Mathematical Statistics" by Hogg and Craig was suggested, with an emphasis on finding used copies of older editions for cost-effectiveness. The discussion concluded with a positive note on exploring these resources.

I just graduated with a B.S. Math and Physics Minor. I took Probability but not Statistics. I also didn't get a chance to take PDE. I'm looking for some good textbooks on the subjects.

A good PDE book for physics is, "elementary applied partial differential equations" by Haberman. Used copies of old editions (I'm familiar with 2nd and 3rd) are cheap and quite good.

"Boundary Value Problems and Fourier Expansions ", by MacCluer is a little more mathy, going into Hilber spaces, etc., so you may like it as well. It is a Dover book so is cheap.

An old classic is "fourier series and boundary value problems" by Churchill and Brown; again, used copies of old editions...

For statistics, you should once again look for used copies of old editions. I really like, "introduction to mathematical statistics" by Hogg and Craig; I have a copy of the 5th edition and find it very good.

enjoy!

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll look into it.
