The right balance between concepts, visualization, applications and skills

Differential Equations: Computing and Modeling, 5th Edition provides the conceptual development and geometric visualization that are essential to science and engineering students. It balances traditional manual methods with the computer-based methods that illuminate qualitative phenomena. This comprehensive approach makes accessible a wider range of more realistic applications. The authors begin and end the text with discussions of mathematical modeling of real-world phenomena, evident in figures, examples, problems and applications throughout.
