Elementary Differential Equations with Boundary Value Problems

Written in a clear and accurate language that students can understand, this book minimizes the number of explicitly stated theorems and definitions. It deals with concepts in a conversational style that engages students. It includes more than 250 illustrated, worked examples for easy reading and comprehension.

One of the book's many strengths is its problems, which are of consistently high quality. Trench includes a thorough treatment of boundary-value problems and partial differential equations and has organized the book to allow instructors to select the level of technology desired. This has been simplified by using symbols, C and L, to designate the level of technology. C problems call for computations and/or graphics, while L problems are laboratory exercises that require extensive use of technology.

Informal advice on the use of technology is included in several sections and instructors who prefer not to emphasize technology can ignore these exercises without interrupting the flow of material.
