Our new SIMIODE digital textbook is authored by the distinguished teacher and writer, Dr. Kurt Bryan, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Terre Haute IN USA.
This text is designed for a first course in differential equations for undergraduate mathematics, engineering, and science majors, and is suitable as a stand-alone textbook. It is a first of a kind text using a modeling first and throughout approach to motivate and teach differential equations.
New Format — Paperback
Our book is now available as a paperback. You can order the paperback with an immediate PDF download for $79US. You'll still get all the updates to the PDF for free for life.
If you only want the electronic copy, we still offer the PDF version by itself.
ISBN 978-1-63877-937-7 | over 561 pages | in English
If you are purchasing the textbook for someone other than yourself, we strongly encourage you to purchase a product with a Download Code which allows that person to download the book themselves and receive download links for PDF updates by email.
This book is the only one this reviewer is aware of that presents differential equations in a modeling context rather than merely adding a bit of modeling to the standard presentation. If you want to study the mathematics of differential equations in a modeling context, you are in the right place.
