Publisher: Brooks Cole, 2005, 848pp, 3rd ed.

Incorporating a modeling approach throughout, this exciting introductory textbook emphasizes concepts and shows that the study of differential equations is a beautiful application of the ideas and techniques of calculus to everyday life. Students will generally attack a given equation from three different points of view to obtain an understanding of the solutions: qualitative, numeric, and analytic.
