Differential and Integral Equations Summary

Differential and Integral Equations by Peter J. Collins (St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford)

Differential and integral equations involve important mathematical techniques, and as such will be encountered by mathematicians, and physical and social scientists, in their undergraduate courses. This text provides a clear, comprehensive guide to first- and second-order ordinary and partial differential equations, whilst introducing important and useful basic material on integral equations. Readers will encounter detailed discussion of the wave, heat and Laplace equations, of Green's functions and their application to the Sturm-Liouville equation, and how to use series solutions, transform methods and phase-plane analysis. The calculus of variations will take them further into the world of applied analysis. Providing a wealth of techniques, but yet satisfying the needs of the pure mathematician, and with numerous carefully worked examples and exercises, the text is ideal for any undergraduate with basic calculus to gain a thorough grounding in 'analysis for applications'.

Differential and Integral Equations Reviews

The text is a valuable source of information on classical and modern methods of applied mathematics and is warmly recommended to mathematiians and non-mathematicians both as a textbook and as an easily accessible reference on the subject * Yuri V. Rogovchenko, Zentralblatt MATH *
