โฆ Synopsis
Partial differential equations are fundamental to the modeling of natural phenomena; they arise in every field of science. Consequently, the desire to understand the solutions of these equations has always had a prominent place in the efforts of mathematicians; it has inspired such diverse fields as complex function theory, functional analysis, and algebraic topology. Unfortunately, in the standard graduate curriculum, the subject of partial differential equations is seldom taught with the same thoroughness as algebra or integration theory. The present book is aimed at rectifying this situation. It is based on a four-semester course taught at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The goal of this course was to provide the background necessary to initiate work on a PhD thesis in partial differential equations. The level of the book is aimed at beginning graduate students. Prerequisites include a truly advanced calculus course and basic complex variables, but no knowledge is required of Lebesgue integration theory or functional analysis.

This book is apparently written for a 4 semester course in PDEs for grad students in pure mathematics. You will not learn how to solve PDEs from this book. I need to solve PDEs; not explore theory which does not lead to any solution. I recommend Strauss's book instead.
This book was the primary textbook for my first year graduate PDE's class (I am an Applied Math student). The supplementary textbook was the one written by Strauss, which is the traditional undergraduate leveled text. My background is in Physics so I have seen PDE's before, just not in any detail as
A complete introduction to partial differential equations, this textbook provides a rigorous yet accessible guide to students in mathematics, physics and engineering. The presentation is lively and up to date, paying particular emphasis to developing an appreciation of underlying mathematical theory
