First-order systems are those which can be described by first-order differential equations. A common example is the RC circuit. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to ...

Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are also called initial value problems because a time zero value for each first-order differential equation is needed. The following is an example of a ...

Numerical methods for systems of first order ordinary differential equations are tested on a variety of initial value problems. The methods are compared primarily as to how well they can handle ...

WE have read Prof. Woolsey Johnson's work with some interest: his style is clear, and the worked-out examples well adapted to elucidate the points the writer wishes to bring out. He appears to ...

We produce an alternate proof of the extended binomial theorem by solving a first order linear ordinary differential equation with a given initial condition. The method is easy to follow and the ...

An intermediate level course in the analytical and numerical study of ordinary differential equations, with an emphasis on their applications to the real world. Exact solution methods for ordinary ...
