Description:
These world-renowned authors integrate linear algebra and ordinary differential equations in this unique book, interweaving instructions on how to use MATLAB® with examples and theory. They use computers in two ways: in linear algebra, computers reduce the drudgery of calculations to help students focus on concepts and methods; in differential equations, computers display phase portraits graphically for students to focus on the qualitative information embodied in solutions, rather than just to learn to develop formulas for solutions. |

Benefits:
• To emphasize that the computer graphical solution of systems of differential equations motivates concepts in linear algebra, the authors begin by solving linear systems of equations. They then introduce simple differential equations -- both single and planar systems. In subsequent chapters, linear algebra and ODE theory are often mixed.
• Preloaded matrices and differential equations on the disk that accompanies the text make using the computer easier for the students. If an asterisk follows a label, students can load it into MATLAB® by typing the formula number.
• A graphical user interface for solving planar systems called plane5, developed by John Polking, makes working with ODEs easier for students. (A disc is included in the book.)
• Each sections contains exercises that require pencil and paper, and exercises that require the assistance of a computer.
• This book has been class-tested both in the United States and Europe.
