Elementary Differential Equations Summary

Elementary Differential Equations by Werner Kohler

Elementary Differential Equations with Boundary Value Problems integrates the underlying theory, the solution procedures, and the numerical/computational aspects of differential equations in a seamless way that provides students with the necessary framework to understand and solve differential equations. Theory is presented as simply as possible with an emphasis on how to use it. KEY TOPICS: With an emphasis on linear equations, linear and nonlinear equations (first order and higher order) are treated in separate chapters. In developing mathematical models, this text guides the student carefully through the underlying physical principles leading to the relevant mathematics. Asking students to use common sense, intuition, and 'back-of-the-envelope' checks as well as challenging them to anticipate and interpret the physical content of the solution encourage critical thinking. MARKET: Intended for use in introductory course in differential equations.
