Focusing on the archetypes of linear partial differential equations, this text for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students employs nontraditional methods to explain classical material. Topics include the Cauchy problem, boundary value problems, and mixed problems and evolution equations. Nearly 400 exercises enable students to reconstruct proofs. 1975 edition. Reprint of the Academic Press, Inc., New York, 1975 edition.
