This is a textbook for a first course in differential equations. The book is intended for
science and engineering majors who have completed the calculus sequence, but not nec-
essarily a first course in linear algebra. It emphasizes a systems approach to the subject
and integrates the use of modern computing technology in the context of contemporary
applicationsfromengineeringandscience.
Our goal in writing this text is to provide these students with both an introduction to,
andasurveyof,modernmethods,applications,andtheoryofdifferentialequationsthatis
likelytoservethemwellintheirchosenfieldofstudy.Thesubjectmatterispresentedina
mannerconsistentwiththewaypractitionersusedifferentialequationsintheirwork;tech-
nologyisusedfreely,withmoreemphasisonmethods,modeling,graphicalrepresentation,
qualitativeconcepts,andgeometricintuitionthanontheory.
Notable Changes in the Third Edition
This edition is a substantial revision of the second edition. The most significant changes
are:
▶ EnhancedPageLayout Wehaveplacedimportantresults,theorems,definitions,and
tables in highlighted boxes and have put subheadings just before the most important
topicsineachsection.Thisshouldenhancereadabilityforbothstudentsandinstructors

and science, whereas Boyce and DiPrima targets a somewhat more general audience,
includingengineersandscientists.
▶ BrannanandBoyceisintendedtobemoreconsistentwiththewaycontemporaryscien-

▶ Brannan and Boyce integrates the use of computers more thoroughly than Boyce and
DiPrima, and assumes that most students will use computers to generate approximate
solutionsandgraphsthroughoutthebook.
▶ Brannan and Boyce emphasizes contemporary applications to a greater extent than
BoyceandDiPrima,primarilythroughend-of-chapterprojects.
