Applied Maths: Differential Equations

[Roshnain Swati]

Seniors with AM,

I was just going through the AM Differential Equation section syllabus. Can any one please answer in line to below queries..

1. The syllabus for DE is not easy to understand - what to cover and what not to- Should only Liner DEs be covered along with Power Series Method for the fist section?

2. The second section about PDE is more confusing.. Can anyone please elaborate what to cover in PDEs...

3. Where have the questions in the past papers mostly been taken from?

4. Any good reference of book that can cover all the confusing syllabus

Many thanks in advance.

1. i found some differential equations from past papers in ordinary differential equations by schuam's outline series.
2. power series method from the same book plus mathematical methods by s. m. yusuf.
3. then there are a type called lagrangians. you will find them on net or youtube or maybe in mathematical methods.
4. for PDEs i did not use any book but i think the best one would by PDes by Schuam Outine Series
5. there is a thread somewhere recommending books for maths paper b. i think it is by that lady ayesha who got 190 marks in applied maths. find that thread. search it with google.

i think i have managed to confuse even more. but there is not a single book from where you can prepare differential equations or for that matter paper b.
i am appearing in previous of masters in june next month, will get full throtle for css 2015 after that.

good luck and keep busy.

regards

oh i found a thread for you.

Thank you. I did my searching too. At last, after going through several books, i could understand what to cover in ODEs.

For the PDEs, i ll search some other time. This section will consume a hell of time i guess.

It has been 7 years since i ve studied DEs. At least good to know that some questions ve appeared from Schuam Series. It will help what sub topis to cover in the ODEs.

Good to see aspirants with the lethal physics-math combo.
