The natural place for an informal acquaintance with such ideas is a leisurely introductory course on differential equations. Specially designed for just such a course, Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes takes great pleasure in the journey into the world of differential equations and their wide range of applications. The authorβa highly respected educatorβadvocates a careful approach, using explicit explanation to ensure students fully comprehend the subject matter.
With an emphasis on modeling and applications, the long-awaited Third Edition of this classic textbook presents a substantial new section on Gaussβs bell curve and improves coverage of Fourier analysis, numerical methods, and linear algebra. Relating the development of mathematics to human activityβi.e., identifying why and how mathematics is usedβthe text includes a wealth of unique examples and exercises, as well as the authorβs distinctive historical notes, throughout.
