This comprehensive textbook focuses on numerical methods for approximating solutions to partial differential equations (PDEs). The authors present a broad survey of these methods, introducing readers to the central concepts of various families of discretizations and solution algorithms and laying the foundation needed to understand more advanced material. The authors include over 100 well-established definitions, theorems, corollaries, and lemmas and summaries of and references to in-depth treatments of more advanced mathematics when needed.

Numerical Partial Differential Equations is divided into four parts: Part I covers basic background on PDEs and numerical methods. Part II introduces the three main classes of numerical methods for PDEs that are the book’s focus (finite-difference, finite-element, and finite-volume methods). Part III discusses linear solvers and finite-element and finite-volume methods at a more advanced level. Part IV presents further high-level topics on discretizations and solvers.

This book is intended for advanced undergraduate/first-year graduate and advanced graduate students in applied math, as well as students in science and engineering disciplines. The book will also appeal to researchers in the field of scientific computing. Chapters are designed to be stand-alone, allowing distinct paths through the text, making it appropriate for both single-semester and multi-semester courses. It is appropriate for courses covering topics ranging from numerical methods for PDEs to numerical linear algebra.
