Differential Equations

A Modern Approach with Wavelets

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This new book from one of the most published authors in all of mathematics is an attempt to offer a new, more modern take on the Differential Equations course. Because of the theory of wavelets, Fourier analysis is ever more important and central and applications are a driving force behind mathematics.
