Introduction

From the book: "...intrinsic interest of the subject itself is enough motivation, but for most it is the likelihood of important applications to other fields that makes the understanding worthwhile. Many of the principles, or laws, underlying the behavior of the natural world are statements or relations involving rates at which things happen. When expressed in mathematical terms, the relations are equations and the rates are derivatives. Equations containing derivatives are differential equations ."
