While the approach of the text is sophisticated, the literature is accessible to a broad audience. A particularly valuable bonus are the historical remarks. These remarks are found throughout the manuscript. They demonstrate the growth of mathematical thinking on this topic by engineers and mathematicians. The book focuses on detailing how the various methods are to be applied. These are illustrated by a  number and variety of examples. Readers are expected to have a working knowledge of elementary ordinary differential equations, including some familiarity with power series techniques, and of some advanced calculus. Dr. O'Malley  has written a number of books on singular perturbations.  This book has developed from many of his works in the field of perturbation theory. 606 $aDifferential equations 606 $aMathematics 606 $aHistory 606 $aOrdinary Differential Equations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12147 606 $aHistory of Mathematical Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M23009 615 0$aDifferential equations. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aHistory. 615 14$aOrdinary Differential Equations. 615 24$aHistory of Mathematical Sciences. 676 $a510 700 $aO'Malley$b Robert E$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$040554 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299994603321 996 $aHistorical developments in singular perturbations$91409939 997 $aUNINA
