A Telegraphic Review in the October 1989 issue of the Monthly described this book as follows: "Develops a theory for linear and nonlinear equations for problems well-suited to computation, examining smoothness and admissible boundary conditions in great detail. Illustrates the theory with careful study of compressible and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations." This edition, in SIAM's Classics in Mathematics series, is an unaltered reprint of the original 1989 book.

A longer review appeared in SIAM Review, December 1990. It can be accessed through JSTOR.
