Ordinary Differential Equations and Infinite Series
Carleton university Math1005 textbook
 
Description
 
Preface The prerequisites for this book are elementary differential and integral calculus and linear algebra. The exercises at the end of each section follow the progression of the topics in that section, and are approximately in increasing order of difficulty. The exercises at the end of certain chapters cover the material of the entire chapter, may be more difficult, may involve material from earlier chapters, or may be of a more theoretical nature. The solutions of all of the exercises are provided in Appendix C. Proofs of theorems which are mere computations are furnished in order to provide the reader with a better understanding of the subject. More abstract or otherwise difficult proofs are omitted from the main text. The proofs of selected theorems are given in Appendix B. Appendix A contains formulas and techniques from trigonometry, calculus and linear algebra which may prove useful to the reader. The second edition is identical to the first, with the exception of minor changes and corrections. Sam Melkonian April 2015
