| Summary: | "The book provides an accessible and concrete introduction to the main principles of ordinary differential equations.__The study of differential equations is approached from a dynamical systems perspective, so there is an emphasis on qualitative questions and the evolution of solutions._ Important principles are sectioned off to present a coherent picture of the study of differential equations, and the questions driving the theory are discussed._ The value and limitations_of results are carefully explained._ The modern perspective of the book combined with a foundation of knowledge naturally leads to the study of dynamical systems of all kinds. The roots of modern dynamical systems are exposed in order to gain a solid foundation of ordinary differential equations._ The text sticks strictly to core ideas and firmly adheres to the principle that any result that is part of the core is worth carefully developing and proving._ The_material covered fits neatly into a two-semester beginning graduate course with room for the instructor to pursue some special topics."--Publisher description. |
