About this title

Synopsis:

Differential equations are vital to science, engineering and mathematics, and this book enables the reader to develop the required skills needed to understand them thoroughly. The authors focus on constructing solutions analytically and interpreting their meaning and use MATLAB extensively to illustrate the material along with many examples based on interesting and unusual real world problems. A large selection of exercises is also provided.

Review:

'This is a useful book, providing an excellent introduction to postgraduate studies in applied mathematics. It is very well produced and one is grateful to the publishers for having produced a useful book which, at its paperback price, is reasonable these days ... I have no hesitation in giving this book my full recommendation.' The Mathematical Gazette

'... an eloquent applied differential equations textbook ... I'd be delighted if each new graduate student coming to our department knew and was inspired by the contents of this attractive new textbook.' Robert E. O'Malley, Jr, University of Washington

'I can highly recommend this book for a first introduction to differential equations to both students and teachers.' Monatshefte für Mathematik

'The book is well-organized, theoretical material, illustrative examples, exercises and projects are carefully selected ... The textbook provides a well-balanced exposition of theoretical results and applied techniques and is a welcome contribution to the existing literature on differential equations.' Zentralblatt MATH

'This is an eloquent applied differential equations textbook, with its own identity ... There's no doubt, however, that I'd be delighted if each new graduate student coming to our department knew and was inspired by the contents of this attractive new textbook.' Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics

'There are not many books like this about. The real benefit is that it is well within reach of a competent physics student and it should satisfy the most inquisitive minds. Secondly, it contains material on nonlinear differential equations, a topic that is usually left out. The text introduces clever techniques that will help the student develop useful skills rapidly.' Contemporary Physics

'... a very well written book that will be useful for researchers in ODE-s, PDE-s, classical Calculus, for the physicists, engineers, chemists, biologists and those applying differential equations. The book is warmly recommended also to students with basic knowledge in Analysis.' Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum
