Allan Peterson is a co-author of this textbook on difference equations. This book uses
elementary analysis and linear algebra to investigate solutions of difference equations.
Numerous applications to difference equations are given. The first four chapters cover
the standard material that should be taught in a one semester course on difference
equations. Chapters 5-10 cover material that naturally would lead one into
research topics in discrete analysis. For more information see Allan Peterson's webpage.
