For courses in Differential Equations and Linear Algebra. Acclaimed authors Edwards and Penney combine core topics in elementary differential equations with those concepts and methods of elementary linear algebra needed for a contemporary combined introduction to differential equations and linear algebra. Known for its real-world applications and its blend of algebraic and geometric approaches this text discusses mathematical modeling of real-world phenomena with a fresh new computational and qualitative flavor evident throughout in figures examples problems and applications. In the Third Edition new graphics and narrative have been added as needed-yet the proven chapter and section structure remains unchanged so that class notes and syllabi will not require revision for the new edition.
