Reviews
This book is unique in that it provides a very comprehensive introduction to the theory of PDEs embedded in specific relevant applications in the field., "The writing style of this book is accessible, clear, and student friendly. It is approachable, with plenty of motivation for new students, and integrates nonlinear PDEs throughout. Shearer and Levy are familiar with contemporary research in applied PDEs and have made an excellent selection of topics to introduce the field." --John K.

Hunter, University of California, Davis, The authors provide not only a clear and rigorous explanation of the more elementary theoretical aspects of partial differential equations, but they are also concerned with tools of applied mathematics in the setting of partial differential equations. . . . This reviewer warmly recommends this volume to mathematical university libraries. ---Vicentiu D. Radulescu, Zentralblatt MATH, "The material is presented in a new and innovative way, stressing more modern ideas in PDEs while keeping the approach accessible. Superior illustrations accompany important concepts, and the anecdotes and examples throughout the book will keep students interested. Shearer and Levy are both highly regarded researchers and educators in the field."
