Differential equations is one of the oldest subjects in modern mathematics. It was not long after Newton and Leibniz invented the calculus that Bernoulli and Euler and others began to consider the heat equation and the wave equation of mathematical physics. Newton himself solved differential equations both in the study of planetary motion and also in his consideration of optics. Today differential equations is the centerpiece of much of engineering of physics of significant parts of the life sciences and in many areas of mathematical modeling. This text describes classical ideas and provides an entree to the newer ones. The author pays careful attention to advanced topics like the Laplace transform Sturm–Liouville theory and boundary value problems (on the traditional side) but also pays due homage to nonlinear theory to modeling and to computing (on the modern side). This book began as a modernization of George Simmons’ classic Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes. Prof. Simmons invited the author to update his book. Now in the third edition this text has become the author’s own and a unique blend of the traditional and the modern. The text describes classical ideas and provides an entree to newer ones. Modeling brings the subject to life and makes the ideas real. Differential equations can model real life questions and computer calculations and graphics can then provide real life answers. The symbiosis of the synthetic and the calculational provides a rich experience for students and prepares them for more concrete applied work in future courses. Additional Features Anatomy of an Application sections. Historical notes continue to be a unique feature of this text. Math Nuggets are brief perspectives on mathematical lives or other features of the discipline that will enhance the reading experience. Problems for Review and Discovery give students some open-ended material for exploration and further learning. They are an important means of extending the reach of the text and for anticipating future work. This new edition is re-organized to make it more useful and more accessible. The most frequently taught topics are now up front. And the major applications are isolated in their own chapters. This makes this edition the most useable and flexible of any previous editions. | Differential Equations Theory Technique and Practice

Sellers offer a range of delivery options, so you can choose the one that’s most convenient for you. Many sellers offer free delivery. You can always find the postage cost and estimated delivery date in a seller’s listing. You'll then be able to see a full list of delivery options during checkout. These can include: Express delivery, Standard delivery, Economy delivery, Click & Collect, Free local collection from seller.
Your options for returning an item vary depending on what you want to return, why you want to return it, and the seller's return policy. If the item is damaged or doesn't match the listing description, you can return it even if the seller's returns policy says they don't accept returns. If you've changed your mind and no longer want an item, you can still request a return, but the seller doesn't have to accept it. If the buyer changes their mind about a purchase and wants to return an item, they may need to pay return postage costs, depending on the seller's return policy. Sellers can provide a return postage address and additional return postage information for the buyer. Sellers pay for return postage if there's a problem with the item. For example, if the item doesn't match the listing description, is damaged or defective or is counterfeit. By law, customers in the European Union also have the right to cancel the purchase of an item within 14 days beginning from the day you receive, or a third party indicated by you (other than the carrier) receives, the last good ordered by you (if delivered separately). This applies to all products except for digital items (e.g. Digital Music) that are provided immediately to you with your acknowledgement, and other items such as video, DVD, audio, video games, Sex and Sensuality products and software products where the item has been unsealed.
Sellers have to offer a refund for certain items only if they are faulty, such as: Personalised items and custom-made items, Perishable items, Newspapers and magazines, Unwrapped CDs DVDs and computer software. If you used your PayPal balance or bank account to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your PayPal account balance. If you used a credit or debit card to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your card. The seller will effect the refund within three working days but it may take up to 30 days for Paypal to process the transfer. For payments funded partially by a card and partially by your balance/bank, the money taken from your card will go back to your card and the remainder will return to your PayPal balance.
