MAA Press: An Imprint of the American Mathematical Society
A thoroughly modern textbook for the
sophomore-level differential equations course. The examples and
exercises emphasize modeling not only in engineering and physics but
also in applied mathematics and biology. There is an early
introduction to numerical methods and, throughout, a strong emphasis
on the qualitative viewpoint of dynamical systems. Bifurcations and
analysis of parameter variation is a persistent theme.
Presuming previous exposure to only two semesters of calculus,
necessary linear algebra is developed as needed. The exposition is
very clear and inviting. The book would serve well
for use in a flipped-classroom pedagogical approach or for self-study
for an advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate student.
This second edition of Noonburg's best-selling textbook includes
two new chapters on partial differential equations, making the book
usable for a two-semester sequence in differential equations. It
includes exercises, examples, and extensive student projects taken
from the current mathematical and scientific literature.
An instructor's manual for this title is available
electronically to those instructors who have adopted the textbook for
classroom use. Please send email to textbooks@ams.org for more
information.
