Textbook for Mathematics 27300

This is the textbook that I use in that course. Not all of the chapters listed are covered. The book is in progress, though most chapters are in a fairly complete state (exception: chapter 9). Some alternative texts are suggested below.

Chapter 1: Introduction and first-order equations

Chapter 2: The general, linear equation

Chapter 3:Linear equations with constant coefficients

Chapter 4:Analytic equations

Chapter 5: Equations with regular singular points

Chapter 6: Existence and regularity of solutions

Chapter 7: Dynamical Systems

Chapter 8: Stability I: Equilibrium Points

Chapter 9: Stability II: Maps and Periodic Orbits

Chapter 10: Boundary-value problems

Chapter 11: Oscillation theory

Chapter 12: Eigenfunction expansions
