Elementary Differential Equations With Boundary-Value Problems

Proceeding from practical applications to the development of mathematical concepts, this book provides a comprehensive treatment of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, with a separate section on Green's functions (important for engineering students). Matrix algebra is extensively reviewed in the appendix. The book is flexible and clearly set out; the chapters are independent and the specific calculator and computer exercises are identified by symbol. This book should be of interest to for degree and diploma students on courses in mathematics, engineering and science.
