Solving ODEs ith MATLAB [Hardcover]

This book, first published in 2003, provides a concise but sound treatment of ODEs, including IVPs, BVPs, and DDEs.This concise text for a one-semester course for upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students in engineering, science, and mathematics can also serve as a quick reference for professionals. The major topics in ordinary differential equations, initial value problems, boundary value problems, and delay differential equations, are usually taught in three separate semester-long courses, but Solving ODEs with MATLAB provides a sound treatment of all three in fewer than 300 pages. Prerequisites are a first course in the theory of ODEs and a survey course in numerical analysis, specifically some programming experience, preferably in Matlab, and some elementary matrix theory.This concise text for a one-semester course for upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students in engineering, science, and mathematics can also serve as a quick reference for professionals.
