A Modern Introduction to Differential Equations

A Modern Introduction to Differential Equations presents a solid yet highly accessible introduction to differential equations, developing the concepts from a dynamical systems perspective and employing technology to treat topics graphically, numerically and analytically. This text is designed to be appropriate for a wide variety of students and exists as a natural successor to any modern calculus sequence.
