LECTURES ON ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

“A rigorous and lively introduction … careful and lucid …” – The American Mathematical Monthly.

This concise and idea-rich introduction to a topic of perennial interest in mathematics is written so clearly and lucidly, it is well within the reach of senior mathematics students. It covers mainly existence theorems for first-order scalar and vector equations, basic properties of linear vector equations, and two-dimensional nonlinear autonomous systems. Throughout, the emphasis is on geometric methods.
