From the preface: "This book is based on lectures given by us over the past ten years in a two-quarter sequence course in Elementary Partial Differential Equations. [.] The book has two principal objectives: to provide students with the techniques necessary for the formulation and solution of problems involving partial differential equations in courses in other disciplines; and to prepare students for further study in partial differential equationss and linear analysis by furnishing a basis for "intuition" in these subjects, namely, a thorough familiarity with their simplest typical problems." Very good (+) to near fine copy; clean, tight and bright; upper corners lightly bumped (see photos) First Edition (presumed; no prior editions or printings cited).
