Teach yourself ordinary differential equations in a fraction of the time most courses take!

This book consists of twenty articles, each teaching a single technique. Each article contains examples and exercises with answers to provide the immediate feedback needed to reinforce your learning. The book serves as a great introduction to differential equations for those who may be new to the subject or it can be used as a supplement for those who are taking a course out of a different book. It's also perfect as a review for those who have taken a course in the past and need to refresh their skills.

The harmonic oscillator, Eq. 1-5, describes everything from capacitor tuning of an AC circuit to the vibrations of displaced atoms in a crystal lattice. On the other hand, the applicability of the exponential decay model, Eq. 1-6, runs the gamut from describing the rate at which neutrons decay into protons, electrons, and anti-neutrinos to predicting the rate of disappearance of froth in a mug of beer.
