FWIW, there is a whole chapter (17 in the first edition, 20 in the third/current edition, don’t have a second edition in front of me but would be surprised if it didn’t have one) on Partial Differential Equations. It’s about 50+ pages in the first edition and 70+ in the third.

But I take your point, the chapter does admit to being intended as “the briefest possible useful introduction” and notes that the topic would require another volume entirely dedicated to it.



Ah thanks, I must have mis-remembered. I think it did say something about PDE's being the dividing line though.
