Description

The textbook presents a rather unique combination of topics in ODEs, examples and presentation style. The primary intended audience is undergraduate (2nd, 3rd, or 4th year) students in engineering and science (physics, biology, economics). The needed pre-requisite is a mastery of single-variable calculus. A wealth of included topics allows using the textbook in up to three sequential, one-semester ODE courses. Presentation emphasizes the development of practical solution skills by including a very large number of in-text examples and end-of-section exercises. All in-text examples, be they of a mathematical nature or a real-world examples, are fully solved, and the solution logic and flow are explained. Even advanced topics are presented in the same undergraduate-friendly style as the rest of the textbook. Completely optional interactive laboratory-type software is included with the textbook. Email Mikhail.Khenner@wku.edu with proof of textbook purchase to request access to optional software download.

Report

"The aim of this book is to develop skills for finding solutions and for investigating the qualitative theory of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). These skills help one to solve real-world problems. The book contains many examples, some of which are from mechanics, physics and biology. ... This book is arranged in such a way that students taking a distance learning course or studying the subject independently will benefit." (Narahari Parhi, Mathematical Reviews, September, 2024)
"The book introduces the reader to ordinary differential equations from the classical point of view. It is a basic first course for physics and engineers. In all chapters there is an introductory background with real examples, most of them solved. From the table of contents, it is clear what the reader will find." (Joan Torregrosa, zbMATH 1530.34003, 2024)
