    The articles in this volume provide an efficient way to learn about the direction in which the field of differential equations, and in particular its teaching, is going. The contributors are known not only for their research into the solution and understanding of differential equations, but also importantly for their experience as teachers of the subject. In particular, and this is a central theme of the book, the contributors have expert knowledge on the incorporation of modern technology into the teaching of ODE (ordinary differential equations) courses. Whatever their own field of expertise, this will be an essential purchase for anyone interested in the teaching of differential equations.

    • Will interest workers in ODEs whatever their field of interest
    • Expert contributors
    • Discusses incorporating important technological advances into teaching
