No one can promise you that you will learn differential equations in 24 hours. That is up to you. What this book does is it makes it possible to learn basic differential equations in the minimum amount of time needed. It has a concise style of presentation and the right number of exercises and examples-not too many, not too few. All of the solutions to all of the exercises are presented in detail in Appendix 1. This allows reinforcement learning and verification of success. Biographical sketches of important mathematicians are included to provide additional motivation; however, they can be skipped in the interest of further time savings. The material which can be skipped appears in italics. The content taught here is equivalent to the material presented in the junior-level course in differential equations that the author teaches at University of Colorado Denver. It grew out of his earlier book, Shortcut to Ordinary Differential Equations. The present book, expanded slightly and equipped with all of the solutions, covers basically the same topics that were taught in a junior-level course in differential equations that the author took at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49581998440721,"sku":"GOR012364225","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51028946518289,"sku":"NIN9781478765226","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51417129255185,"sku":"CIN1478765224VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53478501417233,"sku":"GOR014940313","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1478765224.jpg?v=1750955974"},{"product_id":"shortcut-to-ordinary-differential-equations-book-scott-imhoff-9781432712006","title":"Shortcut to Ordinary Differential Equations","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTeach yourself ordinary differential equations in a fraction of the time most courses take \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe shortest distance between two points is a straight line (unless you are on a curved surface). This book is intended to provide the shortest path to an understanding of introductory ordinary differential equations (ODE); however, such a shortcut requires more than the shortest possible book. In recent years the understanding of how people learn has improved dramatically. Out of this enhanced understanding, active learning has emerged as a powerful educational tool. In preparing this book, active learning principles have been applied so that this book is a short path to a solid introductory understanding of ODE. My principle introduction to active learning has been through several seminars by Dr. Barbara J. Millis, Director for Faculty Development at the U.S. Air Force Academy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe active learning features of are book are as follows: The book consists of twenty short sections, called Articles, each of which focuses on a single subject. The conceptual integrity this provides helps the student develop an organizational framework for the material. Within each Article, the material is illustrated with salient examples. Several exercises are provided at the end of each section and all of the answers are provided. This is done to provide the necessary quick reinforcement of learning and to motivate the student by early success. Thus, in keeping with active learning, the student is actively working with the material, reading short articles, working through short examples and exercises, obtaining immediate reinforcement, and gaining increased confidence and mastery. The book is kept short so that the student can be confident that they can own the subject in a reasonable span of time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is intended for anyone who has had some calculus, at least to the point of being able to differentiate and integrate, and who is motivated to work the examples and exercises. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe material covered here grew out of sophomore-level classroom and hybrid courses in differential equations that the author taught at Community College of Aurora in Colorado. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is divided into three Parts. The first two parts treat first-order and higher-order differential equations, respectively, in the context of solution using in situ methods. By in situ, I mean that the solution is solved in place by some manipulation or substitution but without a major transformation of the problem into another domain. The third part of the book deals with the Laplace transform method of solution of ordinary differential equations. Here the differential equation is transformed into a realm in which many functions become rational functions and in which solution is often easier to accomplish. There are two appendices: The first appendix presents solutions to all exercises and the second is a timeline of differential equations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51025772445969,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51025774969105,"sku":"NIN9781432712006","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1432712004.jpg?v=1750890814"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-scott-imhoff.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
