Summary: A Gentle Introduction to PDE's
Review: A very gentle introduction to partial differential equations with a very nice mix of theory and applications, plus lots of Fourier Analysis.

Summary: By far the best INTRODUCTORY text on the subject
Review: As the title implies, this book is not intended to mathematicians, although it could finely serve as additional text for them, too. On the other hand it is excellent as an itroductory overview of the types of PDE's met and the methods used for their solution. There are references to more advanced texts for the interested, excercises in each chapter and, most importantly, nice, qualitative remarks on the properties of mathematical tools (like Fourier and Laplace transform) which help the reader to comprehend them.

Summary: Good book
Review: I used this book in an undergraduate course, and since I couldn't see the board during lectures, I relied on only the book and it was very easy to read and understand. The major drawback of this book, and I don't know if this accounts for it's abnormally low price, is that there seem to be far more errors in the solutions than most books have. About 100 pages into the book, I had encountered so many errors, that thereafter whenever my solutions were different from the solutions in the book, I wondered first if the book was wrong, not if I had done something wrong.

Summary: Great Introductory Math Book
Review: I'm usually unimpressed by math textbooks. There typically seems to be a lot of intimidating notation that is not well explained. Typically, it seems that the author is trying to convey self-importance by making his or her subject of expertise appear rather intractable to mere mortals.
This book is a rare exception. It is light and easy to read - I wanted to learn a little bit about PDEs without having to take a formal course in them, and this book has been a great introduction. It has lots of applications and examples that really drive home the lessons. The organization is very good; it is broken down into many small chapters. I highly recommend it.

Summary: AMAZING!!
Review: the subject of PDE's looks vague and scary for most students, even for those with math background.This book is probably the best education, self-study material available for the subject.It covers all the important aspects with very clear explanations .I bought it as a secondary book for my PDE course based on the amazon's reviews and it was really a very nice experience. Worth more than... and highly recommended

Summary: An outstanding intuitive introduction to PDEs
Review: This book is an excellent introduction to PDEs with an emphasis on how to understand the equation and interpret the solution.

Summary: Too Supeficial
Review: This is a excellent reference for those interested only in solving PDEs without getting lost with their intimacies. I widely recommended it, for me has been quite useful. This an example of a simple treatment of a very complex subject.Excelente libro para aquellos que requieran resolver ecuaciones diferenciales parciales sin que por ello estén dispuestos a leer capítulos enteros de fórmulas y procedimientos intrincados. Este es el libro más concreto y completo de ecuaciones diferenciales parciales que yo he leido alguna vez. Altamente Recomendable.

Summary: Very Good
Review: Unbeatable as far as breadth. Covers a lot of ground, conceptually it's extremely well organized, and the explanations are very easy to follow. This text is ideal for self-study. The two major shortcomings are (1) slight lack of depth and (2) the exercises, which are far too few and far too simple.
