Combining traditional differential equation material with a modern qualitative and systems approach, this new edition continues to deliver flexibility of use and extensive problem sets. The second edition’s refreshed presentation includes extensive new visuals, as well as updated exercises throughout.
• Unique blend of traditional algebraic and modern qualitative geometric approaches – Tempers the classic pure math approach with the practical, applied aspects of modern DE uses.
• Strong systems approach – Features a full chapter on matrix algebra, followed by three systems chapters. Practical uses of DEs today are not single equations but rather looking at several DEs using a computer.
• Novel modeling approach – Emphasizesproblems and approaches.
• Flexible use of technology – Focuses on solving and interpreting through the inclusion of several optional technology projects. The text is platform-neutral.
• New Chapter (#11) on Power Series Solutions.
• Updated material throughout – Improved exposition based on current classroom trends as well as the feedback of first edition users. Includes revised coverage of exact first order equations (Ch. 2), matrix algebra (Ch. 7), and systems (Ch. 8).
• Expanded coverage of phase plane portraits – Now covered in two sections, including a new section on the trace-determinant plane.
• Large number of new figures – Help students clearly visualize ideas described in the text. The most geometric text available.
• More application-based examples – Demonstrate to students the broad applications of differential equations.
• Clearly highlighted methods of solution – Make solutions easier to identify throughout the text.
• Extensive new exercises throughout – Including all Chapters 1- 11.
• Appendix on complex numbers and matrices – Gathers information in a single location to make it more readily accessible.
• FREE when shrink-wrapped with the text are manuals for MATLAB, Maple, and Mathematica.Chapter 1: Introduction to Differential Equations
