This monograph is an account of ten lectures I presented at the Regional Research Conference on Numerical Solution of Two-Point Boundary Value Problems. The Conference was held at Texas Tech. University on July 7–11, 1975, and was one of a series supported by the National Science Foundation and managed by the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences.I have used this opportunity, in part, to augment and bring up to date portions of a previous monograph on this subject [24]. However, as the lectures could only be a partial survey of the field, many interesting topics had to be omitted Indeed the omissions form the basis for another conference in this area. They include: automatic net selection, singular perturbation problems, bifurcation problems, optimal control problems, the completion of difference schemes to yield invariant embedding schemes, Galerkin methods, collocation (with other thanpiecewise polynomials), singular nonlinear problems and no doubt other significant topics. However, the main core of the subject is covered rather broadly and some proofs have been included when they are brief and contribute to a better understanding. Quite a bit of new material is covered and numerous areas in need of study are exposed.It is a pleasure to thank Professor Paul Nelson and the rest of his committee for organizing this very well-run conference. The participants were a most stimulating group and any success of my lectures was due in no small part to the general spirit of the gathering. The National Science Foundation is performing a most useful and innovative service in supporting the Regional Conference Series and I was honored to have been the principal lecturer at this one. Much of my research in this area has been sponsored over the years by the U.S. Army Research Office (Durham) under Contract DAHC 04-68-C-0006 and by the Energy Research and Development Administration under Contract AT(04-3-767) Project Agreement 12. Finally I wish to thank Pam Hagan for her cheerful help in the arduous task of preparing this manuscript for publication.Herbert B. KellerPasadenaAugust1975
