Handbook of Differential Equations

This book and CD-ROM compile the most widely applicable methods for solving and approximating differential equations. The CD-ROM provides convenient access to these methods through electronic search capabilities, andtogether the book and CD-ROM contain numerous examples showing the methods use. Topics include ordinary differential equations, symplectic integration of differential equations, and the use of wavelets when numerically solving differential equations. * For nearly every technique, the book and CD-ROM provide: * The types of equations to which the method is applicable * The idea behind the method * The procedure for carrying out the method * At least one simple example of the method * Any cautions that should be exercised * Notes for more advanced users * References to the literature for more discussion or more examples, including pointers to electronic resources, such as URLs
