From the Back Cover

The Authors′ goal is to communicate an exciting new approach to Differential Equations – through Modeling, Visualization and Dynamical Systems. This new way of looking at ODEs blends the tried and true analytical methods with mathematical modeling, applications to engineering and the sciences, and geometric visualization via numerical solvers. The resulting rich insight and highly motivated learning offers students a powerful, stimulating, yet accessible experience that brings them to a deep understanding of ODEs!

Synopsis

Encouraging the student to create and explore graphs of solutions, and to solve open-ended exercises that reinforce the concepts of ordinary differential equations, this text explains how to solve complicated differential equations numerically and how to derive insight from complex systems.
