About this title

Synopsis

This text is designed for courses that emphasize finding solutions of differential equations where applications play an important role. The new edition includes a revised development of linear equations and a derivation of Kepler's laws from Newton's laws of gravitation. The treatment of numerical methods has been revised and expanded exercise sets give the instructor more flexibility in assigning problems.

From the Back Cover

In publishing a new edition of Elementary Differential Equations, we have two main goals. First, we hope to maintain the direct style that users of earlier editions have come to expect. Secondly, in response to changes in the nature of many differential equations courses, we have added some new geometric material, reorganized some sections, and added a computer component to the text.
