Introduction to Ordinary Differential Equations
Second Enlarged Edition with Applications
About This Book
Introduction to Ordinary Differential Equations, Second Edition provides an introduction to differential equations. This book presents the application and includes problems in chemistry, biology, economics, mechanics, and electric circuits. Organized into 12 chapters, this edition begins with an overview of the methods for solving single differential equations. This text then describes the important basic properties of solutions of linear differential equations and explains higher-order linear equations. Other chapters consider the possibility of representing the solutions of certain linear differential equations in terms of power series. This book discusses as well the important properties of the gamma function and explains the stability of solutions and the existence of periodic solutions. The final chapter deals with the method for the construction of a solution of the integral equation and explains how to establish the existence of a solution of the initial value system. This book is a valuable resource for mathematicians, students, and research workers.
