Differential Equations: Modeling with MATLAB

Rating:
Summary: No MATLAB syntax
Review: If you're looking for a book to learn how to model differential equations with MATLAB, don't buy this book. No examples in MATLAB are given, only references to what commands in 'DELAB' (The author's MATLAB interface) can be used to solve problems. I purchased and returned this book.

Summary: great explainations
Review: this book has very little illustrations and graphics to show what the mathmatical models are doing, yet it's still a great learning tool. in some instances, the book can give you an example and jump right to a conclusion, which can be confusing, so you will need someone to explain the middle ground to you unless you are very very fluent in algebra and calculus. however, most of the time, the explainations and instructions are very clearly written (in comparison with most math texts). I'm not using MATLAB, so i don't know how well the book teaches and utilizes the software.
