Handbook of Differential Equations (CD-ROM Version 1 only)

This book and CD-ROM compile the most widely applicable methods for solving and approximating differential equations. The CD-ROM provides convenient access to these methods through electronic search capabilities, andtogether the book and CD-ROM contain numerous examples showing the methods use. Topics include ordinary differential equations, symplectic integration of differential equations, and the use of wavelets when numerically solving differential equations. Key Features* For nearly every technique, the book and CD-ROM provide:* The types of equations to which the method is applicable* The idea behind the method* The procedure for carrying out the method* At least one simple example of the method* Any cautions that should be exercised* Notes for more advanced users* References to the literature for more discussion or more examples, including pointers to electronic resources, such as URLs
