Many books on differential equations assume that the reader has a fairly sophisticated level
of competence in calculus at the university level. This book differs from them in that it enables
a student with some basic knowledge of calculus to learn about differential equations and
appreciate their applications.
The focus of the book is on first order differential equations, their methods of solution and
their use in mathematical models. Methods include analytic and graphical solutions, as well as
numerical techniques. Readers will not only learn the necessary techniques of solving first
order differential equations, but also how these equations can be applied in different fields.
Examples have been carefully chosen to provide motivation for new concepts or techniques, and
to illustrate the importance of differential equations.
