I'd say the Differential Equations for Dummies is a good illustration of how to do a readable book on differential equations. A vast amount of research and huge numbers of publications have been devoted to the numerical solution of differential equations, both ordinary and (PDEs) as a result of their importance in fields as diverse as physics, engineering, economics, and electronics. Explanations of things like Laplace or Fourier could be WAY better. The most popular of these is the, but many others have been developed, including the. I found the examples understandable though sometimes it goes into overdrive, for example the explanation of the Dialysis machine is a bit tough for people who are just digesting Chapter 1.įinished reading this. It's also a joke because problem units are still Imperial, and I reckon the editors deserve to be severely punished for this.Īnyways, it's a pretty condensed and manageable text on ODEs, PDEs and all that ilk including Fourier, Laplace, and so on. This book actually costs a lot more in the US for whatever reason. Deo, S.G., Lakshmikantham, V., and Raghvendra, V.,Text Book of Ordinary Differential Equations, 2nd Ed., Tata McGraw Hill 2010. I've got the International Edition, too, because remember the whole spat with people reselling books into the US. Admittedly, the book is priced exorbitantly (partly because it's got color - purple - in it) and partly because it's from that McGraw-Hill stable where each book simply MUST cost at least 50 quid, lest someone fail to take it seriously. Wanted a refresher on Differential Equations and got this.
