Differential Equations with Boundary Value Problems

Combining traditional differential equation material with a modern qualitative and systems approach, this new edition continues to deliver flexibility of use and extensive problem sets. The second edition’s refreshed presentation includes extensive new visuals, as well as updated exercises throughout.

This book strikes a balance between the traditional and the modern—combining the traditional material with a modern systems emphasis. Chapter topics cover an introduction to differential equations, first-order equations, modeling and applications, second-order equations, the Laplace Transform, numerical methods, matrix algebra, an introduction to systems, linear systems with constant coefficients, nonlinear systems, power series solutions, Fourier series methods, and partial differential equations.
