A graduate text on mathematical theory of conservation laws and partial differential equations.

This book provides a self-contained introduction to the mathematical theory of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, with particular emphasis on the study of

Systems of conservation laws arise naturally in physics and chemistry. To understand them and their consequences (shock waves, finite velocity wave propagation)

The 3rd edition is thoroughly revised, applications are substantially enriched, it includes a new account of the early history of the subject (from 1800 to 1957

The biannual ISAAC congresses provide information about recent progress in the whole area of analysis including applications and computation. This book constitu
