About this title

Synopsis:

This text pioneers a new way of teaching the standard sophomore-level differential equations course. The authors stress a more balanced approach, one that includes analytic, numeric, and graphical techniques. The text emphasizes modeling and qualitative theory throughout the course. It employs technology significantly and consistently, presents linear and nonlinear systems in parallel, and includes an introduction to discrete dynamical systems. This text grew out of the Boston University Differential Equations Project, funded in part by the National Science Foundation.

Review:

"There are many texts that claim to be written in the spirit of the so-called calculus reform movement. In my opinion, the text under review achieves this goal better than any book that I have seen. This book presents at a very elementary level the kinds of material that opens the door for the understanding of many of the great achievements in dynamical systems that have been accomplished over the last 30 years."
