I will have to teach a first course in differential equations. A good motivator might be to promulgate modelling with differential equations but I have seen some teachers have made polemic against modelling. Are there any really good resources on modelling with differential equations? I want...

Only ODE. In general when I solve des it is easier to use the normal methods of differential equations. It has got to be of the correct form in order to take the inverse LT

I will have to teach a first course in differential equations. What should I cover in this module? For example, in most books they have Laplace Transforms which is fine but I would not use LT to solve differential equations. I want to write a course that it motivates students and has an impact...

It is a prerequisite to other classes in pure mathematics. This is where they are introduced to formal proof.

TL;DR Summary: education, history I need to devise a module for next academic year which is an introduction to pure mathematics. They need to use this module as a stepping stone module such as number theory, group theory, combinatorics, real analysis. What should I cover to make this an...

What are the classical mathematics textbooks for advanced and undergraduate level that a mathematician should possess?

Where can I purchase old mathematics textbooks up to undergraduate mathematics? I am ideally looking for books from the 1920’s to 1980’s.

Where can I purchase old mathematics textbooks on Advanced level (16-18 year olds) or undergraduate mathematics? I am ideally looking for books from the 1920’s to 1980’s.

Are there any practical applications of Laplace transform? I would not use Laplace transforms to solve first, second-order ordinary differential equations as it is much easier by other methods even if it has a pulse forcing function. How can Laplace transforms be introduced so that students are...

In the late 80’s and early 90’s there was the idea of ‘calculus reform’ and some emphasis and syllabus changed. The order of doing things in calculus also changed with the advantage of technology. Similarly in linear algebra, there was a linear algebra curriculum study group that produced some...

It is sexy enough but I am looking for something which will have an impact and motivate students.

Are there any good images that can be used as a hook for an elementary number theory course?

Thanks it is so obvious as you have suggested.
