Title overview

For courses in Differential Equations and Linear Algebra.

The right balance between concepts, visualisation, applications, and skills. Differential Equations and Linear Algebra provides the conceptual development and geometric visualisation of a modern differential equations and linear algebra course that is essential to science and engineering students. It balances traditional manual methods with the new, computer-based methods that illuminate qualitative phenomena - a comprehensive approach that makes accessible a wider range of more realistic applications.

The book combines core topics in elementary differential equations with concepts and methods of elementary linear algebra. It starts and ends with discussions of mathematical modeling of real-world phenomena, evident in figures, examples, problems, and applications throughout.
