References to Other Articles on Differential Equations

Below is a list of differential equations articles published elsewhere, listed by topics. We envision this as a growing body of references, and invite you to submit reviews and references to this page. Read our Editorial Policy for instructions on how to submit an entry.

 

Most of these references have appeared in the College Mathematics Journal.  The individual articles are available through JSTOR by clicking on the "Article" link in the reference.  Some of the articles have short summaries attached; some of these summaries appeared in ERIC or Math Reviews. 

Almost all of the articles are listed at http://www.maa.org/pubs/cmj-index/cmj-index.html under the heading: Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems.

Questions, comments, and future reviews should be sent to Tom Judson, Associate Editor for References.
