In this edited volume leaders in the field of partial differential equations present recent work on topics in PDEs arising from geometry and physics. The papers originate from a research school organized by CIMPA and MIMS in Hammamet, Tunisia to celebrate the 60th birthday of . This textbook is a self-contained introduction to Partial Differential Equa- tions (PDEs). It is designed for undergraduate and first year graduate students who are mathematics, physics, engineering or, in general, science majors. Partial differential equations also play a in this book. However, because partial differential equations is a subject at the forefront of research in modern science, I have not hesitated to mention physics but then do mathematics. Focus on the three classical equations. The diffusion equation (Equation \ref{eq:pde1}) is a partial differential equation because the dependent variable, $$C$$, depends on more than one independent variable, and therefore its partial derivatives appear in the equation. Other important equations that are .
