I studied this book from cover to cover, and I found its explanations lucid and complete. F. John's writing style makes excellent reading, and the details he supplies are complete enough that anyone with only a background in undergraduate multivariable calculus can understand the arguments. Like any good mathematics textbook, this one leaves the reader to work out his/her own steps at some points, but Dr. John always makes it clear which elements are needed. This book will always have a place on the shelf in my office.

I'm very impressed by John's book on PDE's. Very complete, top down approach to the subject, while remaining lucid and concrete. It's the work of a master.

I required this book for one of my post graduate course module studies. My professor is following this book. In my opinion, this contains the latest research findings and is one of the best books in this subject.
