This study book by James C. Robinson offers a clear introduction to ordinary differential equations. It covers both standard solution methods and qualitative techniques such as phase plane analysis. The book is suitable for students in technical and exact sciences and includes practical applications and MATLAB code for visualizing solutions.
Contents
The text combines theory with illustrative examples and discusses, among other things, Euler’s method, differential equations, the dynamics of the logistic map, and the Lorenz equations. The graphical approach and the included MATLAB files support a better understanding of differential equations and their applications. Exercises with solutions are available for instructors.
