Reviews

"[T]his 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." - E-Streams, Vol 7, No. 10, October 2004" 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." - Choice, June 2004, Vol. 41, No. 10 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. The Industrial Physicist, October/November 2004 Accolades for other "handbooks" by Polyanin and Zaitsev: - William Schiesser, Lehigh University" one-stop shopping for scientists and engineers who need a cookbook solution for partial differential equations. The logical organization--by type of equationand number of variables--makes finding entries easy. This very useful book has no competitors." -CHOICE, on Polyanin's Handbook of Linear Partial Differential Equations for Engineers and Scientists
