This systematically-organized text on the theory of differential equations deals with the basic concepts and the methods of solving ordinary differential equations. Various existence theorems, properties of uniqueness, oscillation and stability theories, have all been explained with suitable examples to enhance students’ understanding of the subject. The book also discusses in sufficient detail the qualitative, the quantitative, and the approximation techniques, linear equations with variable and constants coefficients, regular singular points, and homogeneous equations with analytic coefficients. Finally, it explains Riccati equation, boundary value problems, the Sturm–Liouville problem, Green’s function, the Picard’s theorem, and the Sturm–Picone theorem. The text is supported by a number of worked-out examples to make the concepts clear, and it also provides a number of exercises help students test their knowledge and improve their skills in solving differential equations. The book is intended to serve as a text for the postgraduate students of mathematics and applied mathematics. It will also be useful to the candidates preparing to sit for the competitive examinations such as NET and GATE.
