Edwards, C. H.

Elementary differential equations with applications / C.H. Edwards and David E. Penney - Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey : Prentice-Hall, c1985 - xvii, 631 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

1. Introduction and first order differential equations -- 2. Linear equations of higher order -- 3. Power series solutions of linear equations -- 4. The laplace transform -- 5. Linear systems of differential equations -- 6. Numerical methods -- 7. Fourier series and separation of variables -- 8. Eigenvalues and boundary value problems -- 9. Qualitative properties and existence of solutions.

The book discussions of the mathematical modelling of real-world situations. The fact that differential equations have diverse and important applications is too familiar for extensive comment here.
