For sophomore-level courses in Differential Equations and Linear Algebra. This title is part of the Pearson Modern Classics series. Pearson Modern Classics are acclaimed titles at a value price. Please visit www.pearsonhighered.com/math-classics-series for a complete list of titles. Extensively rewritten throughout, the 2nd Edition of this flexible text features a seamless integration of linear algebra into the discipline of differential equations. Abundant computer graphics, IDE interactive illustration software, and well-thought-out problem sets make it an excellent choice for either the combination DE/LA course or pure differential equations courses . The authors’ consistent, reader-friendly presentation encourages students to think both quantitatively and qualitatively when approaching differential equations – and reinforces concepts using similar methods to solve various systems (algebraic, differential, and iterative).

The book describes the childhood of growing up in the 1920s on a small Iowa farm.
