Differential Equations with Maple V
Martha L. Abell, Georgia Southern University and James P. Braselton, Georgia Southern University
1-1994
Differential Equations with Maple V provides an introduction and discussion of topics typically covered in an undergraduate course in ordinary differential equations as well as some supplementary topics such as Laplace transforms, Fourier series, and partial differential equations. It also illustrates how Maple V is used to enhance the study of differential equations not only by eliminating the computational difficulties, but also by overcoming the visual limitations associated with the solutions of differential equations.
The book contains chapters that present differential equations and illustrate how Maple V can be used to solve some typical problems. The text covers topics on ... Read more
