Modern Differential Equations: Theory, Applications, Technology
Martha L. Abell, Georgia Southern University and James P. Braselton, Georgia Southern University
1-1-1996
This introductory equations book is one of the first to integrate technology throughout the text. Using a computer algebra system (CAS) helps students to solve problems (both specific and general cases), to reason spatially through visualisation, to compare changing variables and parameters, to make inferences, and to evaluate outcomes. Students learn how and when to use technology tools by examples, in exercises, and in applications. Features: * Numerous graphs and figures help students visualize and interpret differential equations and their solutions. * "In Touch with Technology" exercises in almost every section require students to use graphing software or a computer ...

Differential Equations with Maple V
Martha L. Abell, Georgia Southern University and James P. Braselton, Georgia Southern University
1-1994
Differential Equations with Maple V provides an introduction and discussion of topics typically covered in an undergraduate course in ordinary differential equations as well as some supplementary topics such as Laplace transforms, Fourier series, and partial differential equations. It also illustrates how Maple V is used to enhance the study of differential equations not only by eliminating the computational difficulties, but also by overcoming the visual limitations associated with the solutions of differential equations.
The book contains chapters that present differential equations and illustrate how Maple V can be used to solve some typical problems. The text covers topics on ... Read more
