Systems of Conservation Laws

[see attached] This work should serve as an excellent text for graduate students and researchers working in the important area of partial differential equations with a focus on problems involving conservation laws. Written in a clear, accessible style, the book emphasizes more recent results that will prepare readers to meet modern challenges in the subject, that is, to carry out theoretical, numerical, and asymptotical analysis. Key features of this work include: * broad range of topics, from the classical treatment to recent results, dealing with solutions to the 2-D compressible Euler
