A Website Devoted to Differential Equations

A couple of months ago we posted a message here to announce
the availability of a new website, devoted to the subject of
Differential Equations, and whose goal will be to present
that subject in an as an intuitive and conceptual a way as
possible. The URL is:

http://vmm.math.uci.edu/ODEandCM/

and its name is A Web Companion for "Differential Equations,
Mechanics, and Computation". Our plan is to make available
on this site textual material, multimedia (images, movies),
and various applets and other interactive software to give the
aspiring student (and those trying to teach the material) the
best available tools and material to help them in their efforts
to learn and to teach this elegant, useful, and classic subject.
As the name suggests, this site was designed to accompany a
recently published differential equations textbook that we
authored, however the site and the material on it are freely
available to all. (And in fact, 176 pages, or more than half
of the books total of 352 pages are freely available on
the website, including the entire 30 page introductory chapter.)

While the site is still "under construction" (and we plan to
go on improving it for some time to come) we feel that it is now
in pretty good shape and we would like to invite all those with
an interest in differential equations to pay a visit to the site
when they have the time, and we would be most appreciative if you
would give us any suggestions you may have for improving it.
