Differential Equations for Engineers

Wei-Chau Xie, University of Waterloo, Ontario
September 2010
Hardback
9780521194242

    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.

    • A step-by-step approach, applied to practical engineering problems, helps the readers to develop problem-solving skills
    • Illustrative diagrams are used to facilitate mathematical modeling of application problems
    • A systematic introduction to ordinary differential equations for engineering students
