Publisher's Synopsis
This book and CD-ROM compile the most widely applicable methods for solving and approximating differential equations. The CD-ROM provides convenient access to these methods through electronic search capabilities, andtogether the book and CD-ROM contain numerous examples showing the methods use. Topics include ordinary differential equations, symplectic integration of differential equations, and the use of wavelets when numerically solving differential equations.
