About this book :-
"Theory of Differential Equations" by "A. R. Forsyth" is a classic textbook that provides a thorough and rigorous introduction to the study of "ordinary differential equations". The book is designed to give students and researchers a strong foundation in both the theory and methods of differential equations. Forsyth carefully explains first- and higher-order equations, linear and nonlinear types, and the systematic techniques used to solve them, making the material accessible yet mathematically precise. The book includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers apply the concepts to real problems. Forsyth emphasizes understanding the underlying principles of each method rather than rote memorization. His approach allows students to develop strong "problem-solving skills" and gain confidence in handling a wide variety of differential equation problems. The text also introduces special functions and other advanced techniques, demonstrating their relevance in both pure and "applied mathematics" contexts. Forsyth’s work connects the theory of differential equations to practical applications in "mathematical physics" and engineering, illustrating how classical methods can model real-world phenomena. Its structured presentation, depth, and rigor have made it a foundational reference for generations of students and researchers seeking mastery in "ordinary differential equations" and "applied mathematics". The book remains highly regarded for its clarity, completeness, and pedagogical value.
