New to the Second Edition
- More than 1,000 pages with over 1,500 new first-, second-, third-, fourth-, and higher-order nonlinear equations with solutions
- Parabolic, hyperbolic, elliptic, and other systems of equations with solutions
- Some exact methods and transformations
- Symbolic and numerical methods for solving nonlinear PDEs with Maple™, Mathematica®, and MATLAB®
- Many new illustrative examples and tables
- A large list of references consisting of over 1,300 sources
To accommodate different mathematical backgrounds, the authors avoid wherever possible the use of special terminology. They outline the methods in a schematic, simplified manner and arrange the material in increasing order of complexity.
The present handbook is written precisely, with a lot of examples illustrating the qualitative theory for all classes of PDEs. Separate parts of the book are written with a great skill thus it may be used by lecturers and scientists for practical courses. Also it can be used by graduate and postgraduate students in their professional practice.

Praise for the First Edition:
This book serves as a reference for scientists, mathematicians and engineers. Any research library with strengths in these areas would do well to have this book available, as there are no others quite like it.

... exceptionally well organized and clear: the form of the equation is followed by its exact solutions. ... It is an easy process to locate the equation of interest. ... This handbook follows in the CRC tradition of presenting a complete and usable reference. ... A valuable reference work for anyone working with nonlinear partial differential equations. Summing Up: Recommended.

The authors are to be congratulated for somehow making this book so approachable. From the well-ordered table of contents to the clear index, this book promises to be one that will be used regularly, rather than gather dust on a shelf. Handbook of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations is a total success from the standpoint of offering a complete, easy-to-use solution guide.
