Should I continue my additions? Fephisto 03:11, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite Begun: 7 December 2006
I'm currently a senior ME student and, as a project for the stupid holidays (today I gave my last final exam), I intend to make a serious textbook out of this. I will be adding content regularly until around 8 January, after which I may occasionally do so. There wasn't much content in the book to begin with, so I wiped it in favor of starting fresh. I don't mean to piss anyone off (likely will reuse it in the future when the book is further developed).

Stay tuned, Ben pcc 01:56, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to be out for two weeks. I will do work before school resumes, but not much.

This is very nice, I'm quite jealous that you've been able to make something like this, good job Ben. Fephisto 03:31, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm able to make something like this because I have nearly no social life. So, don't be jealous. Thanks, though.

Am going to be busy with another project (modest homework that's turned into software development...) for maybe as long as a month. So, little or no work from me until then.

Please choose another title
Could you please choose another title for you wikibook. Something like "Applied PDEs" or "PDEs for Engineering Sciences" or "PDEs for Engineering Students" would be more appropriate. I'm a mathematician working in PDEs. I must admit that even the start of your book is worlds away from what is done in mathematics of PDEs. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.131.37.74 (talk • contribs).


 * In the next half year, I will try to transform this wikibook into a book which is what mathematicians look for. --Mathmensch (discuss • contribs) 01:45, 24 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi Mathmensch, how interested in the existing contributed material are you? I am considering requesting for this project to be moved a new book called Advanced Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists (leaving the space open for Partial Differential Equations), and might be able to keep the current PDEs material in there since it is more of the brief and applied nature an engineer would take it.  Do you think you'd be better off starting from scratch or would much of what's here be useful for you? Rememberlands (discuss • contribs) 04:18, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, this might be a good idea (moving the current book and then starting from scratch). I thought I would just somehow include the current stuff, but starting from scratch would probably be a lot easier, because then I don't have to think so much about the structure of the book.
 * But if you move the book, please don't move the section about distributions, which I created some days ago and which might already be OK for the new book on PDEs. --Mathmensch (discuss • contribs) 16:27, 26 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok. Let's move the book. The easiest thing will probably be to bring your section back after recreating a new overall PDEs page. Rememberlands (discuss • contribs) 19:46, 26 November 2013 (UTC)


 * The book is moved! I could only move a page at a time, so your page has stayed put.  I'm leaving the various redirects for the time being.  Have fun!  Rememberlands (discuss • contribs) 20:25, 26 November 2013 (UTC)


 * I will probably do the most work in the christmas holidays, because I will be busy with studying and also working on this too. Thanks for moving the other book. --Mathmensch (discuss • contribs) 18:47, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Examples?
Could you please consider including real, worked out examples versus general, vague examples with undefined variables? Thanks! Cammy169 (discuss • contribs) 16:37, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

TODO
The creators of this book left a TODO page for anyone interested in continuing their work. See Advanced Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists/todo. Thenub314 (talk) 21:29, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
