Elementary Differential Equations with Boundary Value Problems

by Charles Henry Edwards, David E. Penney

For briefer traditional courses in elementary differential equations that science, engineering, and mathematics students take following calculus. The Sixth Edition of this widely adopted book remains the same classic differential equations text it's always been, but has been polished and sharpened to serve both instructors and students even more effectively.Edwards and Penney teach students to first solve those differential equations that have the most frequent and interesting applications. Precise and clear-cut statements of fundamental existence and uniqueness theorems allow understanding of their role in this subject. A strong numerical approach emphasizes that the effective and reliable use of numerical methods often requires preliminary analysis using standard elementary techniques.

This text attained legendary status when I was at university. It's fantastic - I turned to it daily for a long time, and it never failed me. Just looking at the cover brings back good memories of my second year applied mathematics course.
