Modelling with Differential Equations

Motivated by the authors' combined ability and
experience, this book is about the concepts of
mathematical modelling with the use of differential
equations, as a powerful technique of mathematical
analysis. It is both enjoyable to read, and informative.
The reader's mind is continually exercised by
enlightenment, or recollection, or enquiry; either
something new is to be learned, or something
known is to be re-examined.
It is with mathematical clarity that the authors
explain the theory of ordinary differential equations
and introduce their manifold applications.
They show a skilful and imaginative succession of applications introducing such instances as accident risk or fish population; forgery detection in old masters or kidney life-support machines; and many others. They show the influence of these mathematical probes into problems occurring in biology, economics, geography, medicine, planning, psychology, or sociology.
Readership: Introductory courses for University undergraduates from a wide range of disciplines, and bright scholars in Sixth Forms.
