This is a revised and extended version of my 1995 elementary introduction to partial di?erential equations. The material is essentially the same except for three new chapters. The ?rst (Chapter 8) is about non-linear equations of ?rst order and in particular Hamilton–Jacobi equations. It builds on the continuing idea that PDEs, although a branch of mathematical analysis, are closely related to models of physical phenomena. Such underlying physics in turn provides ideas of solvability. The Hopf variational approach to the Cauchy problem for Hamilton–Jacobi equations is one of the clearest...

This graduate textbook provides a self-contained introduction to the classical theory of partial differential equations (PDEs). Through its careful selection of topics and engaging tone, readers will also learn how PDEs connect to cutting-edge research and the modeling of physical phenomena. The scope of the Third Edition greatly expands on that of the previous editions by including five new chapters covering additional PDE topics relevant for current areas of active research. This includes coverage of linear parabolic equations with measurable coefficients, parabolic DeGiorgi classes,...
