Ordinary Differential Equations: Concepts, Methods, and Models: A Course After Calculus 2
暫譯: 常微分方程：概念、方法與模型：微積分2之後的課程

這本教科書是對常微分方程（ODEs）主題的介紹。本書適合已成功完成典型大學微積分課程前兩個學期的二年級學生，並打算選修工程、數學或任何涉及常微分方程的物理科學課程——但它也適合那些將修習偶爾使用常微分方程的其他學科課程的學生，例如精算科學、計量經濟學、計算科學和運籌學。

Leigh C. Becker is an emeritus professor of mathematics at Christian Brothers University in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was awarded the Dr. Marguerite Cooper Distinguished Professor Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2002 and 2012. After retiring from CBU, he was a visiting professor of mathematics at Rhodes College in Memphis. He has also taught at Southern Illinois University. Prior to teaching at the college level, he taught chemistry at a high school in Illinois and mathematics and physics at a German gymnasium in Hamburg. He holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in mathematics from Southern Illinois University, an M.S. in physics from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, and a B.S. in physics from the Illinois Institute of Technology. His research publications are in the areas of fractional differential equations, integral equations, and integrodifferential equations.
