Differential Equations for Engineers

A systematic and comprehensive introduction to ordinary differential equations for engineering students and practitioners.

Xie presents a systematic introduction to differential equations for engineering students. The relevance of differential equations in engineering applications motivates readers, and studies of various types of differential equations are determined by engineering applications. The theory and techniques for solving differential equations are then applied to solve practical engineering problems.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.
