Overview

Differential Equations and Linear Algebra, 4th Edition teaches the basic theory of differential equations and linear algebra while exploring a variety of realistic applications, giving you the right balance between concepts, visualization, applications and skills. It combines core topics in elementary differential equations with concepts and methods of elementary linear algebra; it provides the conceptual development and geometric visualization that is essential to science and engineering students in a modern differential equations and linear algebra course. The authors balance traditional manual methods with the computer-based methods that illuminate qualitative phenomena; this comprehensive approach makes accessible a wider range of more realistic applications.
