Editorial ReviewsReviewReview of the First Edition:"The book under review is a well-written textbook on ODE, suitable for advanced undergraduate or first year graduate students in Mathematics or Physical Sciences ... The abundance of examples from physical and biological sciences and engineering to show the applications of the theorems presented in the text adds to the value of the book. " --Zentralblatt MATH
From the Inside FlapDuring the past three decades, the development of nonlinear analysis, dynamical systems and their applications to science and engineering has stimulated renewed enthusiasm for the theory of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE).This useful book, which is based on the lecture notes of a well-received graduate course, emphasizes both theory and applications, taking numerous examples from physics and biology to illustrate the application of ODE theory and techniques.
Written in a straightforward and easily accessible style, this volume presents dynamical systems in the spirit of nonlinear analysis to readers at a graduate level and serves both as a textbook and as a valuable resource for researchers.
This new edition contains corrections and suggestions from the various readers and users. A new chapter on Monotone Dynamical Systems is added to take into account the new developments in ordinary differential equations.
