<p>There are some threads on Google but they weren't too clear so I figured I'd try my luck here.</p>
<p>Are there any recommendations on good books for PDEs? Something that will make them very clear with a good amount of worked examples or things of the sort.</p>
<p>Your question probably would be better answered at physicsforums. </p>
<p>I haven’t used it so I can’t vouch for it personally, but the undergraduate course on PDEs at my school uses the book Partial Differential Equations: An Introduction by Strauss. Looking at the first few pages that Amazon lets me look at, the book doesn’t look like a technical math major book (it isn’t definition-theorem-proof the whole way through).</p>
<p>If you’re looking for books of worked examples go try to find PDE books based around the heat equation, wave equation, and those such things.</p>
<p>Try looking on the dover publications site. I’ve found some of their books to be good and they are very cheap too.

<p>Check the reviews on amazon before you buy though. I didn’t for one of the books I bought, and although it has almost all 5 star reviews it is definitely not an introductory book, the reviews will mention this kind of stuff usually.</p>

<p>This book may be what you are looking for.</p>
