Summary note
"Introduces the nature and significance of differential equations as a tool for studying change in the physical world, progressing from first- and second-order linear equations to Fourier series, boundary value problems, Laplace transforms, nonlinear equations, and the calculus of variations. Each chapter culminates with a classic scientific problem such as the brachistochrone problem, the Einstein formula, Newton's law of gravitation, the wave equation of the vibrating string, and Hamilton's principle."-- Provided by publisher.
