Partial Differential Equations and Applications: A Bridge for Students and Researchers in Applied Sciences offers a unique approach to this key subject by connecting mathematical principles to the latest research advances in select topics. Beginning with very elementary PDEs, such as classical heat equations, wave equations and Laplace equations, the book focuses on concrete examples. It gives students basic skills and techniques to find explicit solutions for partial differential equations. As it progresses, the book covers more advanced topics such as the maximum principle and applications, Green's representation, Schauder's theory, finite-time blowup, and shock waves. By exploring these topics, students gain the necessary tools to deal with research topics in their own fields, whether proceeding in math or engineering areas.
