DESCRIPTION:
Part of the International Series in Mathematics Ideal for the 1-term course, A Journey into Partial Differential Equations provides a solid introduction to PDEs for the undergraduate math, engineering, or physics student. With hundred of exercises and a wealth of figures, A Journey into Partial Differential Equations proves to be the model book for the PDE course.. Bray provides careful treatment of the separation of variables and the Fourier method, motivated by the geometrical notion of symmetries and places emphasis on both the qualitative and quantitative methods, as well as geometrical perspectives. Discussing underlying physics, concepts and methodologies, the text focuses on the classical trinity of equations: the wave equation, heat/diffusion equation, and Laplace's equation

"This is a horrible book" according to Mythicsnow. My college uses this book for a partial differential equations course but the text is barely understandable. Reading the book is an exhausting experience. If you end up with this textbook assigned then I suggest you find a backup textbook to help gel concepts.
