The fun and easy way to understand and solve complex
equations
Many of the fundamental laws of physics, chemistry, biology, and
economics can be formulated as differential equations. This
plain-English guide explores the many applications of this
mathematical tool and shows how differential equations can help us
understand the world around us. Differential Equations For
Dummies is the perfect companion for a college differential
equations course and is an ideal supplemental resource for other
calculus classes as well as science and engineering courses. It
offers step-by-step techniques, practical tips, numerous exercises,
and clear, concise examples to help readers improve their
differential equation-solving skills and boost their test
scores.
