Product Review
"The topic areas of linear algebra and differential equations lend themselves naturally to be developed in tandem, and I do not know of a text that does a better job of integrating the two areas so that each reinforce the understanding of the other."
"[This text] provides a very interesting way of blending linear algebra and sophomore level differential equations course with the programming system MATLAB. . . . It . . . has the potential to be adopted by many institutions who are leaning towards the use of technology in the classroom. For one, I would use the book fore our linear algebra and differential equations course. . . ."
"The text is unique in offering a true amalgam of linear algebra, differential equations, and MATLAB. There is a definite need for such a text. The integration of the three 'legs' is well done and the ideas are introduced at a good pace."
Product Description
These world-renowned authors integrate linear algebra and ordinary differential equations in this unique book, interweaving instructions on how to use MATLAB® with examples and theory. They use computers in two ways: in linear algebra, computers reduce the drudgery of calculations to help students focus on concepts and methods; in differential equations, computers display phase portraits graphically for students to focus on the qualitative information embodied in solutions, rather than just to learn to develop formulas for solutions.
