Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems,12th Edition, International Adaptation by Boyce (Wiley)

Boyce’s Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems is written from the viewpoint of the applied mathematician, with diverse interest in differential equations, ranging from quite theoretical to intensely practical–and usually a combination of both. The intended audience for the text is undergraduate STEM students taking an introductory course in differential equations. The main prerequisite for engaging with the program is a working knowledge of calculus, gained from a normal two or three semester course sequence or its equivalent, while a basic familiarity with matrices is helpful. This new edition of the book aims to preserve, and to enhance the qualities that have made previous editions so successful. It offers a sound and accurate exposition of the elementary theory of differential equations with considerable material on methods of solution, analysis, and approximation that have proved useful in a wide variety of applications.
