Notes to theOne goal in our writing has been to create flexible texts that afford the instructor a varietyof topics and make available to the student an abundance of practice problems and projects.We recommend that the instructor read the discussion given in the preface in order to gainan overview of the prerequisites, topics of emphasis, and general philosophy of the text.SupplementsStudent’s Solutions Manual:Contains complete, worked-out solutions to most odd-numberedexercises, providing students with an excellent study tool.Companion Web site:’s MAPLE/MATLAB/MATHEMATICA manuals:By Thomas W. Po-laski (Winthrop University), Bruno Welfert (Arizona State University), and Maurino Bautista(Rochester Institute of Technology). A collection of worksheets and projects to aid instructorsin integrating computer algebra systems into their courses. Available in the PearsonResource Center atwww.pearsonhighered.com/irc.MATLAB Manual ISBN: 0321977238/9780321977236MAPLE Manual ISBN: 0321977149/9780321977144MATHEMATICA Manual ISBN: 0321977750/9780321977755Computer LabsProjectsAlthough the projects that appear at the end of the chapters in the text can be worked outby the conscientious student working alone, making themgroupprojects may add a socialelement that encourages discussion and interactions that simulate a professional work placeatmosphere. Group sizes of 3 or 4 seem to be optimal. Moreover, requiring that each individualstudent separately write up the group’s solution as a formal technical report for grading bythe instructor also contributes to the professional flavor.Typically, our students each work on 3 or 4 projects per semester. If class time permits, oralpresentations can be scheduled and help to improve the communication skills of the students.1

2Notes to theThe role of the instructor is, of course, to help the students solve these elaborate problems ontheir own and to recommend additional reference material when appropriate.Some additional Group Projects are presented in this guide (see page 10).Technical Writing ExercisesThe technical writing exercises at the end of most chapters invite students to make documentedresponses to questions dealing with the concepts in the chapter. This not only gives studentsan opportunity to improve their writing skills, but it helps them organize their thoughts andbetter understand the new concepts.Moreover, many questions deal with critical thinkingskills that will be useful in their careers as engineers, scientists, or mathematicians.Since most students have little experience with technical writing, it may be necessary to returnungradedthe first few technical writing assignments with comments and have the students redothe the exercise. This has worked well in our classes and is much appreciated by the students.Handing out a “model” technical writing response is also helpful for the students.Student PresentationsIt is not uncommon for an instructor to have students go to the board and present a solutionto a problem. Differential equations is so rich in theory and applications that it is an excellentcourse to allow (require) a student to give a presentation on a special application (e.g., almostany topic from Chapters 3 and 5), on a new technique not covered in class (e.g., materialfrom Section 2.6, the Projects), or on additional theory (e.g., material from Chapter 6 whichgeneralizes the results in Chapter 4). In addition to improving students’ communication skills,these “special” topics are long remembered by the students. Working in groups of 3 or 4 andsharing the presentation responsibilities can add substantially to the interest and quality of thepresentation. Students should also be encouraged to enliven their communication by buildingphysical models, preparing part of their lectures with the aid of video technology, and utilizingappropriate internet web sites.Homework AssignmentsWe would like to share with you an obvious, non-original, but effective method to encouragestudents to do homework problems.An essential feature is that it requires little extra work on the part of the instructor or grader.

Notes to the3We assign homework problems (about 5 of them) after each lecture. At the end of the week(Fridays), students are asked to turn in their homework (typically, 3 sets) for that week. Wethen choose at random one problem from each assignment (typically, a total of 3) that willbe graded. (The point is that the student does not know in advance which problems will bechosen.) Full credit is given for any of the chosen problems for which there is evidence that thestudent has made an honest attempt at solving. The homework problem sets are returned tothe students at the next meeting (Mondays) with grades like 0/3, 1/3, 2/3, or 3/3 indicatingthe proportion of problems for which the student received credit. The homework grades aretallied at the end of the semester and count as one test grade. Certainly, there are variationson this theme. The point is that students are motivated to do their homework.Syllabus SuggestionsTo serve as a guide in constructing a syllabus for a one-semester or two-semester course,the prefaces to the texts list sample outlines that emphasize methods, applications, theory,partial differential equations, phase plane analysis, computation, or combinations of these. Asa further guide in making a choice of subject matter, we provide (starting on the next page)a listing of text material dealing with some common areas of emphasis.Numerical, Graphical, and Qualitative MethodsThe sections and projects dealing with numerical, graphical, and qualitative techniques ofsolving differential equations include:Section 1.3:Direction FieldsSection 1.4:The Approximation Method of EulerProject A for Chapter 1:Picard’s MethodProject B for Chapter 1:The Phase LineProject D for Chapter 1:Taylor Series MethodSection 3.6:Improved Euler’s Method, which includes step-by-step outlines of the im-proved Euler’s method subroutine and improved Euler’s method with tolerance. Theseoutlines are easy for the student to translate into a computer program (pp. 127–128).

Stability is also an important subject for engineers, so we haveincluded an introduction to the subject in Section 5.4 along with an extensive discussion inChapter 12.

Projects for Chapter 3Delay Differential EquationsIn our discussion of mixing problems in Section 3.2, we encountered the initial valueproblemx′(t) = 6−3500x(t−t0),(0.1)x(t) = 0forx∈[−t0,0],wheret0is a positive constant. The equation in (0.1) is an example of adelay differ-ential equation.These equations differ from the usual differential equations by thepresence of the shift (t−t0) in the argument of the unknown functionx(t). In general,these equations are more difficult to work with than are regular differential equations,but quite a bit is known about them.1(a)Show that the simple linear delay differential equationx′=ax(t−b),(0.2)wherea,bare constants, has a solution of the formx(t) =Cestfor any constantC, providedssatisfies the transcendental equations=ae−bs.(b)A solution to (0.2) fort >0 can also be found using themethod of steps. Assumethatx(t) =f(t) for−b≤t≤0. For 0≤t≤b, equation (0.2) becomesx′(t) =ax(t−b) =af(t−b),and sox(t) =t∫0af(ν−b)dν+x(0).Now that we knowx(t) on [0, b], we can repeat this procedure to obtainx(t) =t∫bax(ν−b)dν+x(b)forb≤x≤2b. This process can be continued indefinitely.1See, for example,Differential–Difference Equations, by R. Bellman and K. L. Cooke, Academic Press, NewYork, 1963, orOrdinary and Delay Differential Equations, by R. D. Driver, Springer–Verlag, New York, 197710
