From the Preface:
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, However, as the lectures coulc 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 scheme to yeild invariantembedding schemes, Galerkin methods, collocation (with other than C0 piecewise 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.
