Designed for a one semester course in differential equations, the book spans a variety of topics in the basic
theory as well as applications of differential equations. Presentation is comprehensive and user friendly. The
text includes partial differential equations and early coverage of numerical techniques, procedure boxes to highlight
and summarize steps for problem solving, and unique chapter projects at end of chapters. New material includes
coverage of chaos, group projects, technical writing exercises, and integration of mathematical modeling throughout.
