Overview
Differential equations can be taught using Sage as an inventive new approach.
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
