Differential Equations with Boundary-Value Problems (with CD-ROM and iLrn Tutorial)

Intended for a two-semester course in ordinary and partial differential equations, this textbook introduces methods for solving first-order differential equations, higher-order differential equations, systems of linear equations, and boundary value problems in rectangular coordinates. The sixth edition adds a modeling project to the end of some chapters, and a CD-ROM containing nine project tools and 12 text tools. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
