Opis

David Joyner and Marshall Hampton's lucid textbook explains differential equations using the free and open-source mathematical software Sage.Since its release in 2005, Sage has acquired a substantial following among mathematicians, but its first user was Joyner, who is credited with helping famed mathematician William Stein turn the program into a usable and popular choice. Introduction to Differential Equations Using Sage extends Stein's work by creating a classroom tool that allows both differential equations and Sage to be taught concurrently. It's a creative and forward-thinking approach to math instruction.Topics include: - First-Order Differential Equations - Incorporation of Newtonian Mechanics- Second-Order Differential Equations- The Annihilator Method- Using Linear Algebra with Differential Equations- Nonlinear Systems- Partial Differential Equations- Romeo and Juliet
