This book and CD-ROM compile the most widely applicable methods for solvingand approximating differential equations. The CD-ROM provides convenientaccess to these methods through electronic search capabilities, andtogetherthe book and CD-ROM contain numerous examples showing the methods use. Topicsinclude ordinary differential equations, symplectic integration ofdifferential equations, and the use of wavelets when numerically solvingdifferential equations.* For nearly every technique, the book and CD-ROM provide:* The types of equations to which the method is applicable* The idea behind the method* The procedure for carrying out the method* At least one simple example of the method* Any cautions that should be exercised* Notes for more advanced users* References to the literature for more discussion or more examples, includingpointers to electronic resources, such as URLs
