Résumé

Now enhanced with the innovative DE Tools CD-ROM and the iLrn teaching and learning system, this proven text explains the "how" behind the material and strikes a balance between the analytical, qualitative, and quantitative approaches to the study of differential equations. This accessible text speaks to students through a wealth of pedagogical aids, including an abundance of examples, explanations, "Remarks" boxes, definitions, and group projects. Author Dennis G. Zill wrote this book with the student's understanding kept firmly in mind. He presents the material in a straightforward, readable, and helpful manner, while keeping the level of theory consistent with the notion of a "first course."

Benefits

The text strikes a balance between the analytical, qualitative, and quantitative approaches to the study of differential equations.
Each chapter contains a generous supply of examples, exercises, and applications.
By presenting applications of first- and higher-order differential equations in separate chapters, the text provides flexibility as well as the opportunity for students to get their "feet on the ground" by focusing on fewer concepts at the beginning of the course.
"Project" explore mathematical models relating to the conservation of natural resources, the destruction of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, the modes of vibration of a multistory building during an earthquake, and other interesting topics. Each "Project" is more than an essay because each contains a set of questions that can be used as a computer lab assignment if desired.
Discussion, conceptual, and group exercises are included in most sections.
