Ordinary Differential Equations with Applications

This book is developed primarily from the author's 20 years of teaching the course at his own university. It addresses both theory and applications, interweaving application with theory throughout the text. The author links ordinary differential equations with advanced mathematical topics such as differential geometry, Lie group theory, analysis in infinite-dimensional spaces and even abstract algebra. The revised edition includes considerable new material; the impressive array of exercises has been more than doubled in size and enhanced in scope.
