A Course in Ordinary Differential Equations

This second edition presents analytical and numerical solution methods for typical engineering, physics, and mathematics applications. It uses the latest versions of MATLAB®, Maple¿, and Mathematica® and moves the computer codes to Computer Labs at the end of each chapter. Along with new projects, exercises, and color graphs, this edition includes new sections on complex variables, the exponential response formula for solving nonhomogeneous equations, forced vibrations, and nondimensionalization. It also covers linear systems in their entirety before addressing applications to nonlinear systems.
