Synopsis

Differential Equations: A Modeling Approach introduces differential equations and differential equation modeling to students and researchers in the social sciences.

Key Features:

- The text is accessibly written, so that students with minimal mathematical training can understand all of the basic concepts and techniques presented.

- The author uses social sciences examples to illustrate the relevance of differential equation modeling to readers.

- Readers can use graphical methods to produce penetrating analysis of differential equation systems.

- Linear and nonlinear model specifications are explained from a social science perspective. Most interesting differential equation models are nonlinear, and readers need to know how to specify and work with such models in the social sciences.
