商品簡介
Brooks-Cole has reissued the fifth edition as a "classic" (though two later editions exist), because of its continued popularity. Zill (Loyola Marymount U.) feels this was the edition which best achieved a balance between the concepts and the presentation of materials. The text contains some changes to its format and content; the most notable are the expansion of numerical methods and the elimination of the chapter on partial differential equations and Fourier series. The material covered is now: introduction, first-order and linear differential equations of higher order, the applications of both, differential equations with variable coefficients, laplace transform, systems of linear differential equations, and numerical methods for ordinary differential equations.
