An Introduction to Ordinary Differential Equations (Dover Books on Mathematics)

By Earl A. Coddington

"Written in an admirably cleancut and reasonably priced style." — Mathematical Reviews.
This concise textual content bargains undergraduates in arithmetic and technology a radical and systematic first path in common differential equations. Presuming a data of simple calculus, the e-book first studies the mathematical necessities required to grasp the fabrics to be presented.
The subsequent 4 chapters absorb linear equations, these of the 1st order and people with consistent coefficients, variable coefficients, and normal singular issues. The final chapters handle the lifestyles and strong point of strategies to either first order equations and to platforms and n-th order equations.
Throughout the ebook, the writer incorporates the idea a ways adequate to incorporate the statements and proofs of the easier lifestyles and strong point theorems. Dr. Coddington, who has taught at MIT, Princeton, and UCLA, has incorporated many routines designed to improve the student's method in fixing equations. He has additionally integrated difficulties (with solutions) chosen to sharpen realizing of the mathematical constitution of the topic, and to introduce numerous proper subject matters no longer lined within the textual content, e.g. balance, equations with periodic coefficients, and boundary price problems.

Mathematics: A Very Short Introduction

The purpose of this ebook is to give an explanation for, conscientiously yet no longer technically, the variations among complex, research-level arithmetic, and this sort of arithmetic we research in school. the main basic transformations are philosophical, and readers of this booklet will emerge with a clearer realizing of paradoxical-sounding suggestions similar to infinity, curved house, and imaginary numbers.
