The summation in (43.37) is now the same as the right side of L. (c) of (43.2). B. Integral Property of Laguerre Polynomials. Theorem 43.4. Let Losa), L1(c), L2(a), . . . , be Laguerre polynomial solutions of (43.1).
Along with its unique traits, this text contains all the topics needed for a standard three- or four-hour, sophomore-level differential equations course for students majoring in science or engineering.
The authors reinforce students' understanding of calculus, linear algebra, and analysis while introducing the many applications of differential equations in science and engineering. Three recurrent themes run through the book.
This rigorous treatment prepares readers for the study of differential equations and shows them how to research current literature. It emphasizes nonlinear problems and specific analytical methods. 1969 edition.
Problems at the end of each chapter and two Appendixes on special topics enrich the text.
The Handbook of Ordinary Differential Equations: Exact Solutions, Methods, and Problems, is an exceptional and complete reference for scientists and engineers as it contains over 7,000 ordinary differential equations with solutions.
