Partial Differential Equations book

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding introductory and advanced texts on partial differential equations (PDEs). A recommendation for a rigorous yet accessible book is "Applied Partial Differential Equations" by Haberman, which is noted as a standard text for beginners in PDEs. Additionally, "Boyce and DiPrima" is mentioned, primarily focusing on ordinary differential equations, which may not align with the original request for PDEs. The conversation emphasizes the need for resources that balance mathematical rigor with accessibility for those new to the subject.

Dear all,
I'm interested in partial differential equations. I would like to find an introductory book with solutions methods of known mathematical phisycs equations, rigorous but no high-tech math, and one a more advanced in terms of math.

Do you have any text to recommend?

Thank you for your time and attention.

Here is a link to the post, that was given as an answer to my question. Very similar to yours I think but I asked for some more maths as well. Basically Howers recommends
Howers said:
...I strongly suggest you study differential equations from a book like Boyce and DiPrima.

This was though given as a suggestion to a science (Chemistry) oriented student. So you might be more of a mathematician not sure.

It's worth noting that Boyce and DiPrima primarily covers ordinary differential equations, while the parent poster asked for a book on partial differential equations. One of the standard texts for a first course in partial differential equations is Applied Partial Differential Equations by Haberman.
 
I second Haberman.

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
