A First Course in Differential Equations de J. David Logan

A First Course in Differential Equations: Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics

Autor J. David Logan

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 iul 2015

The third edition of this concise, popular textbook on elementary differential equations gives instructors an alternative to the many voluminous texts on the market. It presents a thorough treatment of the standard topics in an accessible, easy-to-read, format. The overarching perspective of the text conveys that differential equations are about applications. This book illuminates the mathematical theory in the text with a wide variety of applications that will appeal to students in physics, engineering, the biosciences, economics and mathematics. Instructors are likely to find that the first four or five chapters are suitable for a first course in the subject.
This edition contains a healthy increase over earlier editions in the number of worked examples and exercises, particularly those routine in nature. Two appendices include a review with practice problems, and a MATLAB® supplement that gives basic codes and commands for solving differential equations. MATLAB® is not required; students are encouraged to utilize available software to plot many of their solutions. Solutions to even-numbered problems are available on springer.com.

From the reviews of the second edition:
“The coverage of linear systems in the plane is nicely detailed and illustrated. …Simple numerical methods are illustrated and the use of Maple and MATLAB is encouraged. …select Dave Logan’s new and improved text for my course.”
—Robert E. O’Malley, Jr., SIAM Review, Vol. 53 (2), 2011
“Aims to provide material for a one-semester course that emphasizes the basic ideas, solution methods, and an introduction to modeling. …The book that results offers a concise introduction to the subject for students of mathematics, science and engineering who have completed the introductory calculus sequence. …This book is worth a careful look as a candidate text for the next differential equations course you teach.”
—William J. Satzer,MAA Reviews, January, 2011

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"Logan has produced a well-crafted text, densely packed with interesting applications from diverse fields. The chapters cover (ordinary) differential equations, analytical solutions and approximations, second-order differential equations, Laplace transforms, linear and nonlinear systems. The material is well presented and introduces new concepts … . The text will certainly provide a good mental workout." (Christopher Howls, The Times Higher Education Supplement, November, 2006)
"This is a textbook for those who … want to learn some methods and techniques to handle mathematical models described by ordinary differential equations. … the book contains topics which are not included in other similar texts. … In addition, four appendices are added to complete the presentation … . The book is written in a pleasant and friendly style. It provides the reader with enough knowledge to engage with more advanced topics of differential equations … ." (Gheorghe Morosanu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1088 (14), 2006)
“This text book provides an introduction into ordinary differential equations on a post-calculus level. Its primary goal is a brief and concise … treatment of the basic ideas, models and solution methods. This goal is reached by a clever selection of the core material. The main text is written in an colloquial and friendly style and supplemented with many exercises and some appendices which among other things cover the use of computer algebra systems as well as solutions to selected exercises.” (R. Steinbauer, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 154 (1), May, 2008)
