Reviews

Praise for the First Edition: This book serves as a reference for scientists, mathematicians and engineers. Any research library with strengths in these areas would do well to have this book available, as there are no others quite like it. -E-Streams, Vol. 7, No. 10, October 2004 ... exceptionally well organized and clear: the form of the equation is followed by its exact solutions. ... It is an easy process to locate the equation of interest. ... This handbook follows in the CRC tradition of presenting a complete and usable reference. ... A valuable reference work for anyone working with nonlinear partial differential equations. Summing Up: Recommended. -CHOICE, Vol. 41, No. 10, June 2004 The authors are to be congratulated for somehow making this book so approachable. From the well-ordered table of contents to the clear index, this book promises to be one that will be used regularly, rather than gather dust on a shelf. Handbook of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations is a total success from the standpoint of offering a complete, easy-to-use solution guide. -The Industrial Physicist, October/November 2004

The present handbook is written precisely, with a lot of examples illustrating the qualitative theory for all classes of PDEs. Separate parts of the book are written with a great skill thus it may be used by lecturers and scientists for practical courses. Also it can be used by graduate and postgraduate students in their professional practice. - Dimitar A.
