Lab Notes For Differential Equations For Engineers

Notes on Diffy Qs

Annotation An introductory course on differential equations aimed at engineers. The book covers first order ODEs, higher order linear ODEs, systems of ODEs, Fourier series and PDEs, eigenvalue problems, the Laplace transform, and power series methods. The book originated as class notes for Math 286 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 semesters. It has since been successfully used in many university classrooms as the main textbook. See http: //www.jirka.org/diffyqs/ for more information, updates, errata, and a list of classroom adoptions.

Differential Equations for Engineers

Xie presents a systematic introduction to ordinary differential equations for engineering students and practitioners. Mathematical concepts and various techniques are presented in a clear, logical, and concise manner. Various visual features are used to highlight focus areas. Complete illustrative diagrams are used to facilitate mathematical modeling of application problems. Readers are motivated by a focus on the relevance of differential equations through their applications in various engineering disciplines. Studies of various types of differential equations are determined by engineering applications. Theory and techniques for solving differential equations are then applied to solve practical engineering problems. A step-by-step analysis is presented to model the engineering problems using differential equations from physical principles and to solve the differential equations using the easiest possible method. This book is suitable for undergraduate students in engineering.
