Dec 5, 2010 at 9:13 comment added Tim van Beek The most elementary introduction that I know is the book "Elementary Introduction to the Theory of Pseudodifferential Operaotors" by Xavier Saint Raymond, it has only 100 pages and assumes basic knowledge of real analysis only.
Dec 4, 2010 at 20:46 comment added Anand @Prof. Yang, Thank you for your references. The book Geometric Asymptotics looks very interesting. :-)

Dec 3, 2010 at 17:01 comment added Deane Yang Igor, it's been a long time since I looked at Hormander's book, so I don't remember my reaction to it. But, after a quick look at the table of content, I think you're probably right.
Dec 3, 2010 at 15:11 comment added Igor Rivin Actually, I think vol 1 of Hormander is about the most lucid book I have ever seen (and I am no analyst).
Dec 3, 2010 at 15:00 comment added Deane Yang Another book that I used was by Chazarain and Piriou: books.google.com/…
Dec 3, 2010 at 14:44 comment added Deane Yang I'm really out of date with this stuff, but in my day the books I looked at were Treves (Introduction to Pseudodifferential and Fourier Integral Operators) and stuff written by Michael Taylor. Also really nice is Geometric Asymptotics by Guillemin and Sternberg.

Dec 3, 2010 at 14:31 comment added Anand @Willie Wong, Hormander's books seem too difficult. If there is no counter part of Strichartz, I will have to read them... Thank you very much!
Dec 3, 2010 at 14:27 comment added Willie Wong The standard reference is, of course, Lars Hormander, Analysis of Linear Partial Differential Operators, vols 1-4. Unfortunately I wouldn't say it is a "similar book" to the book of Strichartz.
