- Partial Differential Equations, by Fritz John, Springer Verlag, 1971-1982. (On reserve in the library.)
A small book (240 pages) covering
the fundamental theory of pde.
- Partial Differential Equations, (6th ed) by Walter A. Strauss, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1992.
(On reserve in the library.) Our text for
the course. A readable overview of the
theory, a little less technical than Fritz John's book above.

A classic and comprehensive work on partial differential equations. Many applications.
- Partial Differential Equations, by Lawrence E. Evans, American Mathematical Society, 1998. (On reserve in the library.) A fairly
technical reference book covering many topics and with many examples.
- Partial Differential Equations. Methods and Applications, by Robert C. McOwen, Prentice Hall, 2003.
A fairly sophisticated book covering many advanced topics but also starting from basic principles.
- Partial Differential Equations of Mathematical Physics, by S.L. Sobolev, Dover Publications, 1964.
- Linear and Nonlinear Waves, by G.B. Whitham. A classic, and comprehensive, treatise on partial differential
equations applied to problems such as heat conduction, wave motion, and nonlinear phenomenon.
