Introduction to Differential Equations Using Sage
À propos de cet e-book
David Joyner and Marshall Hampton's lucid textbook explains differential equations using the free and open-source mathematical software Sage.
Since its release in 2005, Sage has acquired a substantial following among mathematicians, but its first user was Joyner, who is credited with helping famed mathematician William Stein turn the program into a usable and popular choice.
Introduction to Differential Equations Using Sage extends Stein's work by creating a classroom tool that allows both differential equations and Sage to be taught concurrently. It's a creative and forward-thinking approach to math instruction.
Topics include:
• First-Order Differential Equations
• Incorporation of Newtonian Mechanics
• Second-Order Differential Equations
• The Annihilator Method
• Using Linear Algebra with Differential Equations
• Nonlinear Systems
• Partial Differential Equations
• Romeo and Juliet
