Reviews for Partial differential equations

The average rating for Partial differential equations based on 2 reviews is 3 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2009-10-22 00:00:00 Toby Tyler His treatment of "enveloppes" leaves much to be said. as well as his derivation for the solution to second order linear partial differential equations (id est the wave equation in one spacial dimension) through fourier series. other than that, his writing style is easy to follow, while his proofs remain rigorous.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-07-31 00:00:00 Jaime Amaya Annoying: conventionally unconventional. I've been looking for a good introduction; this is not that. (Is it a coincidence that the best popularisers - Paglia, Greer, Moran - are all highly problematic?) Chanter manages to make exciting parts of feminism - e.g. Calhoun's post-deconstruction stuff - sound dull, dense and theoretically empty, as if it were the same kind of navel-gazing theorism as the hyperinflated Althusserian-Foucauldian stuff. (To be fair, any overview has to cover French theory, because that's what our counter-gender people have actually been up to for decades. But not blind acceptance.) You get the impression, here, that progress in feminist thought consists in calling your predecessors bigoted - JS Mill calls out the Victorians, Okin calls out JS Mill, Butler calls out Okin, Wittig calls out Butler, and then Calhoun calls Wittig heteronormative.
