Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and
Engineers

▶ Extraordinary breadth of coverage

▶ Highly systematic presentation
▶ Hundreds of examples and exercises, with hints, selected solutions,
and a complete solutions manual for instructors 
▶ Useful for students and researchers alike in not only mathematics,
but also engineering, physics, and other natural sciences

An exceptionally complete overview of the latest developments in the field of PDEs. There
are numerous examples and the emphasis is on applications to almost all areas of science
and engineering. There is truly something for everyone here.—Applied Mechanics Review
(Review of First Edition)
 
3rd ed. 2012, XXIII, 860 p. 104 illus. Overall, it is a useful book for teaching, a rich source of examples, and I am happy to have it on
a shelf of my library.—UK Nonlinear News (Review of Second Edition)
