Differential Equations: Computing and Modeling - Hardcover

Reflecting the shift in emphasis from traditional methods to new computer-based methods, this text -- in classic Edwards and Penney style -- focuses on the mathematical modeling of real-world phenomena as the goal and constant motivation for the study of differential equations. It offers a fresh computational flavor in figures, examples, problems, and projects throughout, and features a broad range of real-world applications. The book also covers topics not found in other similar texts.

This book provides the conceptual development and geometric visualization of modern differential equations. It reflects the new excitement in differential equations the availability of technical computing environments. About four dozen Computing Projects follow key sections throughout the book. A perspective shaped by the availability of computational aids. An accompanying Computing Projects Manual. For readers in differential equations who what to be exposed to Maple, Mathematica,
