《常微分方程的解法Ⅱ：刚性与微分代数问题(第二版)))是关于刚性微分方程和微分代数系统(带约束项的微分方程)的解法。全书共分四章，**章介绍刚性问题的单步和外插法，第二章讲述刚性问题的多步方法和一般线性方法，第三章讨论奇异扰动问题的处理，第四章论述微分代数方程及其在约束力学系统中的应用。本书每一章从介绍方法开始，依次讨论实际应用、数值结果、阶和精度的理论分析，线性和非线性稳定性、收敛性和渐近展开。刚性问题和微分代数问题来源于科学计算的各个方面(如物理、化学、生物、控制工程、电网分析及力学系统)。本书包含了这些方面的各种应用及计算机程序。
2003年，在澳大利亚的悉尼举行的ICIAM会议上，本书作者 Ernst Hairer和Gerhard Wanner被授予Peter Henrici奖。
