A Modern Introduction to Differential Equations

Designed for a one-semester course, A Modern Introduction to Differential Equations presents a solid and highly accessible introduction to differential equations, developing the concepts from a dynamic systems perspective and employing technology to treat topics graphically, numerically, and analytically. It thus blends the traditional differential equations text with the best of the more recent reform approaches.

• Worked out examples and exercises taken from biology, chemistry, economics, physics, and engineering enable students to see how math applies to their chosen majors.
• Coverage of a graphing calculator and/or CAS (computer algebra system) is fully integrated into the text to help students construct the required graphs and numerical approximations.
