Synopsis
Designed for use in an introductory differential equations course, this textbook emphasizes the behavior of the solutions rather than the application of formulas. It covers: linear and non-linear first-order equations, second-order linear equations, the Laplace transform, first-order linear systems,, This book provides readers with a solid introduction to differential equations and their applications emphasizing analytical, qualitative, and numerical methods. Numerical methods are presented early in the text, including a discussion of error estimates for the Euler, Heun, and Runge-Kutta methods. Systems and the phase plane are also introduced early, first in the context of pairs first-order equations, and then in the context of second-order linear equations. Other chapter topics include the Laplace transform, linear first-order systems, geometry of autonomous systems in the plane, nonlinear systems in applications, diffusion problems and Fourier series, and further topics in PDEs., For undergraduate (sophomore/junior) courses in Differential Equations. For students majoring in Mathematics, Engineering, Physical Sciences, Biological Science, or Computer Science. Assumes knowledge of Calculus. A solid introduction to Differential Equations and their applications emphasizing analytical, qualitative, and numerical methods.
