Partial differential equations (PDE)

I would like to know more about to solve PDE; however, I don't know where could I find a book to study a better content... I mean, I have searched on internet and I found out a book called "WalterA.Strauss-Partialdifferentialequations_anintroduction-Wiley(1992)". I don't know if this book has a good content and if there are some content missing. Maybe this website may have something else regarding to it.

I would be thankful if may be possible someone to give an advise related to PDE.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Hi Fernando -

That's the book I used in college. It was definitely sufficient for the class's purpose. Unfortunately, I don't have enough exposure to the field or other books on the topic to know if it skipped fundamental material, or if there's a better text to start with. It does seem fairly widely used.

Amazon reviews seem to be pretty mixed between very high rating and very low rating. I don't remember being put off by the writing style, but many seem to have been. There's certainly texts which are less expensive and higher rated on Amazon, so maybe it's worth a shot to try something else?

Thanks Daniel, I found another one called, Boyce Diprima. I am studying by the both books. I will check out something else on Amazon as you said.
