From the reviews:
“This is a well-designed, clearly written book on modern differential equations and related topics primarily intended for use in a two-semester, upper-level undergraduate course for aerospace and mechanical engineers. ... His style features many detailed examples and graphs. Chapters typically begin with a summary of and motivation for the content that follows, and end with an extensive exercise set. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty.” (E. M. Aupperle, Choice, Vol. 48 (10), June, 2011)
“This textbook was developed from the materials used in a sequence of undergraduate courses taught by the author ... . A distinguishing feature of this text is that it combines traditional engineering undergraduate differential equations with two applied topics ... and contains material sufficient for two one-semester courses. ... It is generously illustrated, contains many worked out examples and exercises. ... A valuable source of information for students and engineers using differential equations for modeling and control.” (Yuri V. Rogovchenko, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1223, 2011)
