Math professor, with colleagues, publishes textbook
- Tuesday, September 12th, 2023
Congratulations to WKU Department of Mathematics professor Dr. Mikhail Khenner on the publication of Ordinary Differential Equations: Analytical Methods and Applications, a textbook he wrote with some colleagues.
The textbook presents a rather unique combination of topics in ordinary differential equations (ODE), examples, and presentation style. The primary intended audience for the book is undergraduate (second, third, or fourth year) students in engineering and science (physics, biology, economics).
The needed pre-requisite is a mastery of single-variable calculus. A wealth of included topics allows the use of the textbook in up to three sequential, one-semester ODE courses. The presentation emphasizes the development of practical solution skills by including a very large number of in-text examples and end-of-section exercises. All in-text examples, be they of a mathematical nature or a real-world example, are fully solved, and the solution logic and flow are explained.
Even advanced topics are presented in the same undergraduate-friendly style as the rest of the textbook. Completely optional interactive laboratory-type software is included.
