Differential Equations: Theory and Applications (2nd ed.)

This book was written as a comprehensive introduction to the theory of ordinary di?erential equations with a focus on mechanics and dynamical systems as time-honored and important applications of this theory. H- torically, these were the applications that spurred the development of the mathematical theory and in hindsight they are still the best applications for illustrating the concepts, ideas, and impact of the theory. While the book is intended for traditional graduate students in mat- matics
