Differential Equations with Graphical and Numerical Methods


Book Description

This book presents analytical, graphical and numerical methods in a unified way—as methods of solution and as means of illuminating concepts. Numerical methods are introduced in the first chapter, interpreted in the light of graphics, and provide the core theme around which the first seven chapters revolve. These chapter titles are: The First Order Equationy = f(x,y); First Order Systems Introduction; Higher Order Linear Equations; First Order Systems — Linear Methods; Series Methods and Famous Functions; and Bifurcations and Chaos. The other three chapters cover the laplace transform; partial differential equations and fourier series; and the finite differences method. A unique combination of the traditional topics of differential equations and computer graphics, for anyone interested in taking advantage of this learning package.

Differential Equations and Linear Algebra


Book Description

Differential equations and linear algebra are two central topics in the undergraduate mathematics curriculum. This innovative textbook allows the two subjects to be developed either separately or together, illuminating the connections between two fundamental topics, and giving increased flexibility to instructors. It can be used either as a semester-long course in differential equations, or as a one-year course in differential equations, linear algebra, and applications. Beginning with the basics of differential equations, it covers first and second order equations, graphical and numerical methods, and matrix equations. The book goes on to present the fundamentals of vector spaces, followed by eigenvalues and eigenvectors, positive definiteness, integral transform methods and applications to PDEs. The exposition illuminates the natural correspondence between solution methods for systems of equations in discrete and continuous settings. The topics draw on the physical sciences, engineering and economics, reflecting the author's distinguished career as an applied mathematician and expositor.
