Our 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. Perfect for when you really want a physical book in your hands.

We also have an electronic PDF downloadable copy for when you need to work on the go. The PDF version comes with free updates for life.

The bundle with paperback and PDF download gives you the best of both worlds, including lifetime updates on the PDF version.

Our textbook is also available through RedShelf.

If you are purchasing the textbook for someone other than yourself, we strongly encourage you to purchase a product with a Download Code which provides you a code to give to another person. That person will enter the code during checkout which allows them to download their own copy of the textbook (with no further payment needed) and receive updates to the PDF for life.

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.
