Problems and Solutions for Differential Equations

This text comprises problems and detailed solutions that cover the basic topics of a first course on differential equations for undergraduates in mathematics, engineering, and computer science: first-order differential equations, initial and boundary value problems for second-order differential equations, Laplace transform, systems of differential equations, and numerical techniques using Matlab and Maple.The following features add value to the electronic version of the book:problems with detailed solutions and variants and an interactive component that enables students to test their comprehension of solution techniques,programming exercises using MATLAB and Maple, andlinks to descriptions of definitions, theorems, and methods.Students can use the book to practice for exams, facilitate the completion of homework, and review course material. For professors and instructors, the book can be a source of homework assignments or examples to present in class.
