Overview
Fundamentals of Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems by Nagle, Saff and Snider introduces basic theory and applications, exploring modern applications in science and engineering. It can be used with various course approaches (theory, methodology, applications and numerical methods) and used in conjunction with commercially available software. In the 7th Edition, new problems deal with such topics as axon gating variables and oscillations of a helium-filled balloon on a cord. Novel problems accompany the new projects. New examples deal with variation of parameters, Laplace transforms, the Gamma function, and eigenvectors among others. A shorter version, Fundamentals of Differential Equations, 9th Edition, contains enough material for a 1-semester course.

When you purchase an eTextbook subscription, it will last 4 months. You can renew your subscription by selecting Extend subscription on the Manage subscription page in My account before your initial term ends.
If you extend your subscription, we'll automatically charge you every month. If you made a one‑time payment for your initial 4‑month term, you'll now pay monthly. To make sure your learning is uninterrupted, please check your card details.
To avoid the next payment charge, select Cancel subscription on the Manage subscription page in My account before the renewal date. You can subscribe again in the future by purchasing another eTextbook subscription.
When you purchase a Channels subscription it will last 1 month, 3 months or 12 months, depending on the plan you chose. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of your term unless you cancel it.
We use your credit card to renew your subscription automatically. To make sure your learning is uninterrupted, please check your card details.
A Study & Exam Prep subscription includes video lessons, practice problems and other study tools. Get unlimited access to the full range of subjects:
Yes, the Study & Exam Prep Pack's feature is Channels, which can be purchased separately at any time. Simply go to Channels on the Pearson+ site and choose monthly, quarterly, or annual access, separate from your eTextbook subscription. Still deciding? Watch the first six videos free and buy it if you love it (we know you'll love it!).
Currently, they are the exact same offering. 'Study & Exam Prep Pack' is what we call 'Channels' when it is bundled with an eTextbook or bundled with MyLab & Mastering courseware. When purchased on its own, you will see it called Channels, still the same study & exam prep help you need.
