This is a clear, rigorous and self-contained introduction to PDEs for a semester-based course on the topic. For the sake of smooth exposition, the book keeps the amount of applications to a minimum, focusing instead on the theoretical essentials and problem solving. The result is an agile compendium of theorems and methods - the ideal companion for any student tackling PDEs for the first time.
