Summary

Viewing stained glass from different angles or in various lights is necessary to discover its many qualities. Likewise, viewing solutions of differential equations from several points of view is essential to fully understand their behavior. Lomen and Lovelock provide an active environment for students to explore differential equations by using analytical, numerical, graphical, and descriptive techniques, and for students to use ODEs as a natural tool for modeling many interesting processes in science and engineering.
