Fundamentals of Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems Fifth Edition [Pearson International Edition]

by R. Kent Nagle

Fundamentals of Differential Equations presents the basic theory of differential equations and offers a variety of modern applications in science and engineering.

Fundamentals of Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems contains enough material for a two-semester course that covers and builds on boundary-value problems. These tried-and-true texts help students understand the methods and concepts they will need to successfully complete engineering courses. The new texts retain the features that have made previous editions successful, while integrating recent advances in teaching and learning. The Fundamentals of Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems version consists of the main text plus three additional chapters (Eigenvalue Problems and Sturm-Liouville Equations; Stability of Autonomous Systems; and Existence and Uniqueness Theory).

Okay I admit I had a really good professor for this class. But even so I think this was an excellent book. Very easy to sit down with and work through.

This was a decent introductory text. I does seem quite brief.

There is one thing I was not a fan of: A lot of interesting results/functions/lemmas/etc. are buried in problems. This is useful and fine to an extent, but I thought they overdid it here: a lot of material could have been developed in the text. Keeping these 'extra' pieces in problems is no doubt one reason the book is thinner than others I've seen.
