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.
