Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This textbook develops a coherent view of differential equations by progressing through a series of typical examples in science and engineering that can be modeled by differential equations. All steps of the modeling process are covered: formulation of a mathematical model; mathematical concepts that lead to constructive solutions; validation of the solutions; and consideration of the consequences. The volume engages students in thinking mathematically and appreciating its relevance in science and engineering. It shows students how to solve the typical differential equations that arise in science and engineering based on just a few guiding principles. The development of mathematical models is placed center-stage in this volume.

Recensione

An instructor teaching a course to engineering students only who shares the author s view that applications trump everything else, may find this book worth a look. --MAA Reviews
