Differential Equations by Lomen, David Lovelock

From the Publisher

Viewing stained glass from different angles or in various lights is necessary to discover its many qualities. Likewise, viewing solutions of differential equations from several points of view is essential to fully understand their behavior. Lomen and Lovelock provide an active environment for students to explore differential equations by using analytical, numerical, graphical, and descriptive techniques, and for students to use ODEs as a natural tool for modeling many interesting processes in science and engineering.

Booknews

A textbook for a one-semester or two-quarter course for students who have completed a course in single-variable calculus in either the reformed or traditional approach. Introduces ordinary differential equations as a logical extension of calculus and a natural tool for investigating many aspects of science and engineering, from which the examples and exercises primarily come. Emphasizes the visual exploration of solutions through a variety of graphical representations. No date is given for any previous edition; the latest has streamlined examples and expositions, and added material on currently sexy topics such as nonlinearity and chaos.
