Review: With the availability of computing power, many questions in science and engineering have become amenable to quantitative study, and modelling by partial differential equations. The aim of this book is to develop a theory of initial-boundary value problems for linear and non-linear partial differential equations. It fills the gap between elementary and rather abstract books. To illustrate their theory, the authors have chosen the compressible and incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, which describe the fluid flows ranging from large scale atmospheric motions to the lubrication of ball bearings.
