Principles of Differential Equations |
| Pure and Applied Mathematics: A Wiley-Interscience Series of Texts, Monographs and Tracts |
| Nelson G. Markley (Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA) |
| The book provides an accessible and concrete introduction to the main principles of ordinary differential equations. The study of differential equations is approached from a dynamical systems perspective, so there is an emphasis on qualitative questions and the evolution of solutions. Important principles are sectioned off to present a coherent picture of the study of differential equations, and the questions driving the theory are discussed. The value and limitations of results are carefully explained. The modern perspective of the book combined with a foundation of knowledge naturally leads to the study of dynamical systems of all kinds. The roots of modern dynamical systems are exposed in order to gain a solid foundation of ordinary differential equations. The text sticks strictly to core ideas and firmly adheres to the principle that any result that is part of the core is worth carefully developing and proving. The material covered fits neatly into a two-semester beginning graduate course with room for the instructor to pursue some special topics.
