Solution Techniques for Elementary Partial Differential Equations is an interesting read. Some of the worked-out examples cover not only the conventional topics of heat and wave problems but also applications to a wide variety of fields, from stock markets to Brownian motion. Each chapter has many problems for practice, with solutions for some of them provided at the very end. The book is well written, concise, has adequate examples and can be used as a textbook for beginners to learn the techniques of PDE solvers. MAA Reviews, January 2011 This concise, well-written book, which includes a profusion of worked examples and exercises, serves both as an excellent text in undergraduate and graduate learning and as a useful presentation of solution techniques for researchers and engineers interested in applying partial differential equations to real-life problems. Barbara Zubik-Kowal, Boise State University, Idaho, USA The author, a skilled classroom performer with considerable experience, understands exactly what students want and has given them just that: a textbook that explains the essence of the method briefly and then proceeds to show it in action. In my opinion, this is quite simply the best book of its kind that I have seen thus far. The book not only contains solution methods for some very important classes of PDEs, in an easy-to-read format, but is also student-friendly and teacher-friendly at the same time. It is definitely a textbook that should be adopted. From the Foreword by Peter Schiavone, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada Praise for the First EditionThe book contains a large number of worked examples and exercises. Useful for the student who might be interested in learning the manipulating skills of solution methods of first- and second-order partial differential equations.
