The subject matter partial differential equations (PDEs) has a long history dating from the 18th century and an active contemporary phase. An early phase (with a separate focus on taut string vibrations and heat flow through solid bodies) stimulated developments of great importance for mathematical analysis, such as a wider concept of functions and integration, and the existence of trigonometric or Fourier series representations. The direct relevance of PDEs to all manner of mathematical, physical, and technical problems continues. This book presents a reasonably broad introductory account of the subject, with due regard for analytical detail, applications, and historical matters.
