Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers (Dover Books on Advanced Mathematics) Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great book
Comment: This is a great book from mine kind of perspective. Reason why I gave 4 stars is that i haven't finished reading this book so i don't know how good is the rest of the book explained.
The book explain very simply the basic things regarding pde which is good for someone who isn't mathematician.
I would definitely recommend this book to engineers and undergraduate students of mathematics.
Best regards

Summary: An engineer's review
Comment: I'm a Mechanical Engineer and I wanted to deeper understand some aspects related to differential equations.
Sometimes, when one finishes University, he knows many concepts about mathematical topics, but without having a clear idea about their real meaning and their different ways to be used. Every time, if one does not have a strong knowledge about Mathematic tools, he cannot apply and completely exploit their power.
This book is surely helpfull in clarifying many things related to Differential Partial Equations, which are one of the most usefull tool in modern Engineering, nowadays.
The method of this book (divided in several chapters which represent a single lesson each)is clear and not boring to read (as many Mathematic books are).
I would suggest this book to people who want to clarify the real meaning of PDEs.

Summary: Basic intro with examples
Comment: I teach BVPs at the undergraduate level and I use this text for classroom examples. It presents classical methods for solution of BVPs. Mathematics is provided at the application level so this not a reference for someone interested in the mathematics of PDEs. It does provide references (dated) that I have found useful for additional material. Most are inexpensive so you can add them to your library. Will DOVER consent to placing all of its texts in KINDLE format?

Summary: A handy lecture series that is easy to access
Comment: This is a series of lectures that introduce partial differential equations for engineers and scientists. It is written clearly and carefully, using approachable language to build a conceptual understanding of the phsyical phenomena that inspire the mathematical approach.

This probably won't satisfy people interested in applied mathematics, but engineers should find this a sensible approach. I'd suggest that this could be read alongside an advanced mathematics textbook and will aid the understanding, application and solving of many vital applied physics problems.

Summary: Review by BSM
Comment: Good book to gain an understanding of the basics involved in PDE's. Could use more worked through examples as applied to practical problems.
