Fads are as common in mathematics as in any other human activity,
and it is always difficult to separate the enduring from the
ephemeral in the achievements of one's own time. An unfortunate
effect of the predominance of fads is that if a student doesn't
learn about such worthwhile topics as the wave equation, Gauss's
hypergeometric function, the gamma function, and the basic problems
of the calculus of variations-among others-as an undergraduate,
then he/she is unlikely to do so later. The natural place for an
informal acquaintance with such ideas is a leisurely introductory
course on differential equations. Specially designed for just such
a course, Differential Equations with Applications and Historical
Notes takes great pleasure in the journey into the world of
differential equations and their wide range of applications. The
author-a highly respected educator-advocates a careful approach,
using explicit explanation to ensure students fully comprehend the
subject matter. With an emphasis on modeling and applications, the
long-awaited Third Edition of this classic textbook presents a
substantial new section on Gauss's bell curve and improves coverage
of Fourier analysis, numerical methods, and linear algebra.
Relating the development of mathematics to human activity-i.e.,
identifying why and how mathematics is used-the text includes a
wealth of unique examples and exercises, as well as the author's
distinctive historical notes, throughout. Provides an ideal text
for a one- or two-semester introductory course on differential
equations Emphasizes modeling and applications Presents a
