Differential and integral equations involve important mathematical techniques, and as such will be encountered by mathematicians, and physical and social scientists, in their undergraduate courses. This text provides a clear, comprehensive guide to first- and second-order ordinary and partial differential equations, whilst introducing important and useful basic material on integral equations. Readers will encounter detailed discussion of the wave, heat and Laplace equations, of Green's functions and their application to the Sturm-Liouville equation, and how to use series solutions, transform methods and phase-plane analysis. The calculus of variations will take them further into the world of applied analysis.

In writing, style matters. Our favorite writers often entertain, move, and inspire us less by what they say than by how they say it.

This wonderfully rich and readable book features interviews with more than 40 of our most important authors discussing their literary style.

Molecular and Biochemical Toxicology

An essential resource for graduate students, academic and industrial toxicologists, and environmental health scientists and professionals
