Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A revision of a much-admired text distinguished by the exceptional prose and historical/mathematical context that have made Simmons' books classics. The Second Edition includes expanded coverage of Laplace transforms and partial differential equations as well as a new chapter on numerical methods.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The nature of differential equations -- First order equations -- Second order linear equations -- Oscillation theory and boundary value problems -- Power series solutions and special functions -- Some special functions of mathematical physics -- Systems of first order equations -- Nonlinear equations -- The calculus of variations -- Laplace transforms -- The existence and uniqueness of solutions.
