Differential Equations

"It introduces the basic theoretical notions and methods concerning the aforementioned topics and provides the MATLAB tools and codes for solving the basic classes of ordinary differential equations(ODEs) and systems of ODEs: rst order differential equations (DEs), second order linear DEs with constant coecients, higher-order linear DEs with constant coefficients, systems of first order DEs with constant coecients. There are considered especially the issues of graphical representation for time evolution, state space, qualitative analysis of the equilibrium points, vector eld representation."--Daniela Danciu (Craiova).
