Differential Equations with Boundary Value Problems

by John Polking, Albert Boggess, David Arnold

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.

not bad even it needs a lot of work on making it more clear

Not sure of the difference between a first order linear homogenous ordinary differential equation of constant coefficients and Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix? Questioning whether your parameters are varied or just sundry? Misplaced your Laplace transform? This book is for you......and perhaps you should get out more, meet some people, get some sunlight--the pasty look is out, maybe thin the mechanical pencil collection that is sprouting from your pocket protector....where does one find pocket protectors these days anyway? No, seriously, I'm asking. I tried Googling and eBay. No luck. Well, I must study for my diff eq mid-term, but I do have one question: why are you still reading this blather?
