N2  - ... [the authors have] combined core topics in elementary differential equations with those concepts and methods of elementary linear algebra that are needed for contemporary introduction to differential equations. The availability of technical computing environments like Maple, Mathmatica, and MATLAB is reshaping the current role and applications of differential equations in science and engineering, and has shaped [the authors'] approach in the text. New technology motivates a shift in emphasis from traditional manual methods to both qualitative and computer-based methods  that render accessible a wider range of more realistic applications, permit the use of both numerical computation and graphical visualization to develop greater conceptual understanding, and encourage empirical investigations that involve deeper thought and analysis than standard textbook problems. - Preface
