Scientific Computing with Ordinary Differential Equations

"Provides a sound fundamental introduction to the mathematical and numerical aspects of discretization methods for solving initial value problems in ordinary differential equations . . . This book would make an interesting (non-conventional) textbook for a graduate course in numerical analysis of ODEs. It is written at a level which is accessible to such an audience, covers a wide variety of topics, both classical and modern, and contains a generous supply of homework exercises. In summary, this is an excellent and timely book."—
MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS

"As indicated by the title, this is not a treatise merely on the numerical analysis of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). … the reader is made acquainted with nontrivial examples of ODEs arising in diverse areas and with intrinsic properties of these equations. … The consideration of all the various components … makes for a very informative reading which is further aided by the undogmatic style of presentation. The volume can be recommended to newcomers, but also to instructors in this area." (H. Muthsam, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 143 (1), 2004)
