SolvingODEswithMATLAB

  This book is for people who want to solve ordinary differential equations (ODEs), both initial value problems (IVPs) and boundary value problems (BVPs) as well as delay differential equations (DDEs). Solving ODEs withMATLAB is a text for a one-semester course for upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students in engineering, science, and mathematics. Prerequisites are a first course in the theory of ODEs and a survey course in numerical analysis. Implicit in these prerequisites is some programming experience, preferably in Matlab, and some elementary matrix theory. Solving ODEs withMATLAB is also a reference for professionals in engineering, science, and mathematics. With it they can quickly obtain an understanding of the issues and see example problems solved in detail. They can use the programs supplied with the book as templates.
