Synopsis :
This supplement, designed to accompany the sixth edition of Boyce and DiPrima's "Elementary Differential Equations", introduces Maple - a mathematical software system - as a tool for analyzing differential equations. It refocuses the traditional ODE course by emphasizing an integrated approach using symbolic, numerical, graphical, and qualitative techniques. It aims to explain all the features of Maple that are useful for analyzing differential equations, and to enhance students' understanding and mastery of differential equations, and give students a tool that they can also use in other maths, engineering and science courses. This edition has been updated for Maple Version V.4.
Présentation de l'éditeur:
This book changes the emphasis in the traditional ordinary differential equations (ODE) course by using a mathematical software system to introduce numerical methods, geometric interpretation, symbolic computation, and qualitative analysis into the course in a basic way. Includes concise instructions for using Mathematica on three popular computer platforms: Windows, Macintosh, and the X Window System. It focuses on the specific features of Mathematica that are useful for analyzing differential equations, and it also describes the features of the Mathematica "Notebook" interface that are necessary for creating a finished document.
