A Course in Differential Equations with Boundary Value Problems focuses on applications and methods of solution, both analytical and numerical, with emphasis on methods used in the typical engineering, physics, or mathematics student’s field of study. The text provides sufficient problems so that even the pure math major will be sufficiently challenged. The authors offer a very flexible text to meet a variety of approaches, including a traditional course on the topic. The text can be used in courses when partial differential equations replaces Laplace transforms. There is sufficient linear algebra in the text so that it can be used for a course that combines differential equations and linear algebra.
Most significantly, computer labs are given in MATLAB. The book may be used for a course to introduce and equip the student with a knowledge of the given software. Sample course outlines are included.
