This revision of the market-leading book maintains its classic strengths: contemporary approach, flexible chapter construction, clear exposition, and... outstanding problems. Like its predecessors, this revision is written from the viewpoint of the applied mathematician, focusing both on the theory and the practical applications of Differential Equations as they apply to engineering and the sciences. Sound and Accurate Exposition of Theory--special attention is made to methods of solution, analysis, and approximation. Use of technology, illustrations, and problem sets help readers develop an intuitive understanding of the material. Historical footnotes trace development of the discipline and identify outstanding individual contributions.

Basic Fluid Mechanicsis an antidote for oversimplified textbooks. If you would like to break away from the large publishers' approach that many... professors describe as "fluid mechanics for the masses," "excessive fluff" and "delaying the appearance of PDE's to Chapter 12," this may be the book you have been looking for! As with the first and second editions, this book rejects the modern, watered-down approach that (in at least one modern text) apologizes for the need to use concepts from freshman calculus and (in most cases) emphasizes everything but the basics of fluid motion. Written in an easy-to-read style that students have praised virtually everywhere the book has been used, there is no need to have artificial devices such as one-sentence descriptions on each page to help orient the reader. The worked examples have been integrated into the presentation in a format which insures that the basic concepts are easy to locate. That is, the major flaws of the book's major competitors, all of which are suitable for only a one-semester course, do not plague Basic Fluid Mechanics. Basic Fluid Mechanics is an exciting and innovative junior/senior level text that provides an introduction to the basic concepts of fluid mechanics. It has also been used as an introductory text for graduate students with no prior knowledge of fluid mechanics. The book recognizes the fact that the modern fluid dynamicist has three research tools at his or her disposal, namely, analytical methods, experimentation and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). It makes full recognition of this triad of approaches that constitute today's unified theory of fluid mechanics.

Elementary Differential Equations with Boundary Value Problems integrates the underlying theory, the solution procedures, and the... numerical/computational aspects of differential equations in a seamless way. For example, whenever a new type of problem is introduced (such as first-order equations, higher-order equations, systems of differential equations, etc.) the text begins with the basic existence-uniqueness theory. This provides the student the necessary framework to understand and solve differential equations. Theory is presented as simply as possible with an emphasis on how to use it. The Table of Contents is comprehensive and allows flexibility for instructors.

"…the text is user friendly to the topics it considers and should be very accessible…Instructors and students of statistical measure theoretic... courses will appreciate the numerous informative exercises; helpful hints or solution outlines are given with many of the problems. All in all, the text should make a useful reference for professionals and students."—The Journal of the American Statistical Association

Elementary Differential Equations with Boundary Value Problems integrates the underlying theory, the solution procedures, and the... numerical/computational aspects of differential equations in a seamless way that provides students with the necessary framework to understand and solve differential equations. Theory is presented as simply as possible with an emphasis on how to use it.  With an emphasis on linear equations, linear and nonlinear equations (first order and higher order) are treated in separate chapters. In developing mathematical models, this text guides the student carefully through the underlying physical principles leading to the relevant mathematics. Asking students to use common sense, intuition, and ‘back-of-the-envelope’ checks as well as challenging them to anticipate and interpret the physical content of the solution encourage critical thinking. MARKET: Intended for use in introductory course in differential equations that includes boundary value problems.

The Sixth Edition of this acclaimed differential equations book remains the same classic volume it's always been, but has been polished and sharpened... to serve readers even more effectively. Offers  precise and clear-cut statements of fundamental existence and uniqueness theorems to allow understanding of their role in this subject. Features a strong numerical approach that emphasizes that the effective and reliable use of numerical methods often requires preliminary analysis using standard elementary techniques. Inserts new graphics and text where needed for improved accessibility. A useful reference for readers who need to brush up on differential equations.
