The subject of differential equations is playing a very important role in engineering and sciences, provoking a blurring of boundaries between scientific disciplines and a resurgence of interest in the modern techniques of applied mathematics in modeling physical phenomena. This renewal of interest, both in research and teaching, has led to the writing of the present book. The purpose of this textbook on advanced differential equations is to meet the current and future needs of these advances in scientific developments. This text book is a detailed analysis of both ordinary and partial differential equations for students who have completed Calculus. It provides the motivation, mathematical analysis, and physical application of mathematical models in understanding practical problems in science and engineering. This book is written in such a way as to establish the mathematical ideas underlying model development leading to specific practical applications.
