A Course in Differential Equations with Boundary Value Problems, 2nd Edition, is an excellent resource for students studying ordinary differential equations. This text expands on the authors' successful A Course on Ordinary Differential Equations, 2nd Edition, and addresses the need for additional content when the course is expanded.

The focus of the text is on applications and methods of solution, both analytical and numerical, with an emphasis on methods used in the typical engineering, physics, or mathematics students' field of study. The text provides sufficient problems to challenge even the pure math major.

The authors offer a flexible text that can be used in a variety of approaches, including a traditional course on the topic. The text can also be used in courses where partial differential equations replace Laplace transforms, as there is sufficient linear algebra to combine differential equations and linear algebra.

Most significantly, computer labs are provided in MATLAB®, Mathematica®, and Maple™. The book can be used for a course to introduce and equip the student with a knowledge of these software packages. Sample course outlines are included.

Features of the book include:
1. MATLAB®, Mathematica®, and Maple™ are incorporated at the end of each chapter.
2. All three software packages have parallel code and exercises.
3. There are numerous problems of varying difficulty for both the applied and pure math major, as well as problems for engineering, physical science, and other students.
4. An appendix that gives the reader a crash course in the three software packages.
5. Chapter reviews at the end of each chapter to help the students review.
6. Projects at the end of each chapter that go into detail about certain topics and introduce new concepts.

Overall, A Course in Differential Equations with Boundary Value Problems, 2nd Edition, is a valuable resource for students studying ordinary differential equations. It provides a comprehensive coverage of the topic, with emphasis on applications and methods of solution, and includes computer labs in MATLAB®, Mathematica®, and Maple™ to help students gain practical experience.
