Differential Equations (with CD-ROM)

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.
