Our SIMIODE 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.

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.
—Dr. Glenn Ledder, University of Nebraska, review in The UMAP Journal.
From the Review Editor, Emily J. Olson, of the June/July 2024 issue of Notices of the AMS, we read, "When I consider adopting a textbook, I look for readable prose, extensive examples, and exercises at a wide range of levels. The differential equations textbook from SIMIODE hits the mark for me." Further, "I found this book to contain many desirable attributes: its low cost compared to other textbooks, availability in both paperback and pdf versions, and online resources accessible to students and instructors. If you want to refresh your undergraduate differential equations course and focus on modeling, this is a great book to consider."
