Raisinghania M.D. Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations

18th edition. — New Delhi: S.Chand & Company, 2013. — 1161 p.This book has been designed for the use of honours and postgraduate students of various Indian universities. It will also be found useful by the students preparing for various competitive examinations. During my long teaching experience I have fully understood the need of the students and hence I have taken great care to present the subject matter in the most clear, interesting and complete form from the student’s point of view.
Do not start this book with an unreasonable fear. There are no mysteries in Mathematics. It is all simple and honest reasoning explained step by step which anybody can follow with a little effort and concentration. Often a student has difficulty in following a mathematical explanation only because the author skips steps which he assumes the students to be familiar with. If the student fails to recount the missing steps, he may be faced with a gap in the reasoning and the author’s conclusion may become mysterious to him. I have avoided such gaps by giving necessary references throughout the book. I have been influenced by the following wise-saying.
