This proven and accessible book speaks to beginning engineering and math students through a wealth of pedagogical aids. This is more important to research in differential that engineering and math students must try to understand. Including an abundance of examples, explanations, "Remarks" boxes, definitions, and group projects.
The author of this edition tried to make it easy for also the students and teachers, so it is not very difficult anyway. Written in a straightforward, readable, and helpful style, the book provides a thorough treatment of boundary-value problem and partial differential equations.
