This review is from: Introductory Applications of Partial Differential Equations: With Emphasis on Wave Propagation and Diffusion (Hardcover)
This PDE books is not for beginners (I like the books by Farlow or Snider) but has many interesting, more advanced topics and examples, such as a nice figure of pulse propagation in one, two and three dimensions (Fig. 9.3) in a discussion on the use of fractional derivatives, or compression of pulses propagating through an inhomogeneous medium (Figure 8.3), or scattering of waves by a sphere. There are actually relatively few figures in this book, but when encountered, they are often interesting. This book is perhaps written more for an engineer or physicist; it has a lot of non-trivial examples, but does not have many stated theorems, proofs, lemmas, etc. that I (perhaps erroneously) assume are needed to make mathematicians happy.
