Elementary Differential Equations

Offering a comprehensive treatment of ordinary differential equations with applications, the book also includes an introduction to boundary-value problems. With a logical progression from the concrete to the theoretical, it begins with models (practical applications) and develops the mathematical concepts from them. Independent chapters facilitate flexibility of course content. The text also features specific calculator and computer exercises identified by symbol and notes and references at the end of each chapter which comment on the subject from a broader viewpoint. This book should be of interest to an introductory course in differential equations for degree and diploma students on courses in engineering or science.
