Introductory Differential Equations, Sixth Edition provides the foundations to assist students in learning not only how to read and understand differential equations, but also how to read technical material in more advanced texts as they progress through their studies. The book's accessible explanations and many robust sample problems are appropriate for a first semester course in introductory ordinary differential equations (including Laplace transforms), for a second course in Fourier series and boundary value problems, and for students with no background on the subject.

"This book is the third edition of a text called “Modern Differential Equations” but with a different publisher and with an extensive revision. It provides a solid accessible introduction to differential equations with their applications and consists of ten chapters....The authors use widely computer technologies and present over 2500 exercises ranging in level of difficulty as well as many interesting historical notes with images of famous mathematicians. The book is very useful for students attending an undergraduate course on ordinary differential equations."—Alexander Grin, zbMATHOpen
