About this title

Review

"I believe Zill writes very well. He seems to explain ideas and concepts with great clarity. He introduces new topics slowly and methodically so the student will grasp the idea as he/she reads along." "Zill has a strong textbook: 1. He covers the important material in a depth suitable for a first course. 2. He writes well, is easy to read and understand. 3. He has a good mix of theory and application. As an engineering faculty teaching differential equations, I really appreciate the examples that show how differential equations arise and why they are useful things to study." "The writing style and level of exposition are exactly what they should be for our course . The greatest strengths of the book are its organization, its clear explanations of material and its problem sets."

Synopsis

For this eighth edition of a text for a one-semester or one-quarter course in ordinary differential equations, Zill (Loyola Marymount University) adds a CD-ROM of demonstrations and tools for chapter modeling projects, plus section introductions and review material to refresh students on foundations of what the chapter will cover.
