About The Book

"A First Course in Differential Equations, Modeling, and Simulation (Second Edition)" by Carlos A. Smith provides a practical and in-depth introduction to differential equations, offering both theoretical and application-focused insights. This textbook is designed to help students understand how differential equations arise in the context of engineering and the physical sciences by applying basic principles and experimental observations.

This updated edition emphasizes real-world applications in various fields, including chemical reactions, environmental engineering, biomedical engineering, and biotechnology. It goes beyond theory by showing how to model and solve differential equations that emerge in practical engineering scenarios, including systems where analytical solutions might not be easy to obtain.

Key enhancements in the second edition include expanded coverage of classical solutions, a full chapter dedicated to the response of first- and second-order systems, and a variety of new examples. The book includes end-of-chapter problems and exercises, many of which are designed as projects, to reinforce learning and application of differential equations in real-life settings.

Whether you're studying engineering, chemistry, physics, or another related field, this book offers the tools you need to understand and apply differential equations to complex systems. Its balanced approach, practical applications, and user-friendly style make it an essential resource for students in engineering and the physical sciences.
