Differential Equations Summary

Differential Equations by Paul Blanchard

This text on differential equations seeks to strike a balance between analytic, numeric and graphical techniques, emphasizes modelling, stresses qualitative theory throughout the course, uses technology, presents linear and nonlinear systems in parallel, and includes an introduction to discrete models of dynamical systems.

Differential Equations Reviews

"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."

This is a used book. We do our best to provide good quality books for you to read, but there is no escaping the fact that it has been owned and read by someone else previously. Therefore it will show signs of wear and may be an ex library book
