I found what I was looking for in this book to know enough about this huge theory of Partial Differential Equations. Contents of each chapter is clearly developed and no essential point is missed. If you are someone who seriously wants to learn more and apply PDE theory in your research, this book is worth picking. Although the title alludes to an introductory book bearing a simple approach, this book is far more than an introduction, and I would say some little background in PDE's would help.

An Introduction to Partial Differential Equations by Renardy and Rogers is a very well written introduction to the huge and important area of PDEs. It covers both the classical and modern PDE theory on, compared with other expositions, a relatively low number of pages. Nevertheless, Renardy and Rogers succeed in introducing the most important concepts and explaining their interrelations, so that alltogether, the book provides the reader with the background necessary for diving safely into the more advanced literature on the subject.

It was a pleasure for me to read the book, and after nearly four years of work in PDEs, it is still my reference of choice. I would highly recommend it for students of mathematics and for mathematically inclined engineering students.

This book is the best book on advanced partial differential equations i know. It is almost self contained. Every definition is motivated. Examples are given. Buy it and enjoy

This is a good book for postgraduate maths students. Even though my first degree was in maths I still could not follow the notation given in this book. I struggled with following the material and never got to the end of the book. I will have to come back to this book in a few years once I have developed the skills elsewhere.

This book is apparently written for a 4 semester course in PDEs for grad students in pure mathematics. You will not learn how to solve PDEs from this book. I need to solve PDEs; not explore theory which does not lead to any solution. I recommend Strauss's book instead.
