excellant graduate level work

Used as a text in my Boundary Value Problems class at Prairie View A & M University. I found the text very readable and the numerous problems challenging, but not too difficult at all. Powers has written an excellant work for anyone who wishes to learn the heat equation, and wave equation. His worked out answers to selected problems is very helpful for the student. This book is a keeper to be used for reference after the class.

An easy to read thorough treatment on all aspect of DE's...

I originally purchased this text to help with my study for an undergraduate course in Partial Differential Equations and Waves. From start to finish, this book always presents the material in an easy to read and easy to understand manner.Generally, the book gives a really good understanding on the topics of solving ordinary differential equations, and then the various types of partial differential equations, such as the heat equation, where the solution methods involved can be confusing at times. The book also has a large selection of worked examples and wide ranging practise problems.The book has the effect where even if the reader is only armed with basic undergraduate calculus, it gives them a very good understanding of the material in a short time.
