In diesem Buch lernen Sie, wie Sie mit Differenzialgleichungen aller Schwierigkeitsstufen umgehen: Sie starten mit Differenzialgleichungen erster Ordnung und erfahren, was mit separierbaren Differenzialgleichungen zu tun ist und was exakte Differenzialgleichungen sind. Anschließend begegnen Ihnen lineare homogene und lineare inhomogene Differenzialgleichungen höherer Ordnung. Lernen Sie die Methode der unbestimmten Koeffizienten und die Methode der Parametervariation kennen. Den wirklich schweren Brocken rücken Sie mit Laplace-Transformationen und Reihenlösungen zu Leibe. Und wenn gar nichts mehr geht, bleiben Ihnen ja immer noch die numerischen Lösungen. Sie funktionieren fast immer.
