Straightforward and easy to read, DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH BOUNDARY-VALUE PROBLEMS, 9th Edition, gives you a thorough overview of the topics typically taught in a first course in Differential Equations as well as an introduction to boundary-value problems and partial Differential Equations. Your study will be supported by a bounty of pedagogical aids, including an abundance of examples, explanations, "Remarks" boxes, definitions, and more.

  • Extended homework problems at the end of selected section exercises were submitted and classroom-tested by members of the differential equations instructors.
  • The development of material in this text progresses intuitively, and explanations are clear and concise. Exercises reinforce and build on chapter content.
  • This text guides students through material necessary to progress to the next level of study; its clear presentation and mathematical precision make it an excellent reference tool in future courses.
  • While this text is time-tested and widely accepted, it has remained current with the addition of new exercises, and the enhanced four-color presentation.
  • Exercises in this edition have been updated to better test and challenge students.
  • A new design helps students quickly identify resources in the text and emphasizes the application of Differential Equations in the world around them.
