ABSTRACT

In recent years, with the development of computers, supercomputers, computer algebra systems (such as Maple and Mathematica ®), and interactive programming environments for scientific computing (such as MATLAB®, there has been an increasing trend in mathematical research towards modern and powerful computational methods for analytical, symbolic, numerical, and graphical solution of ODEs. Moreover, the use of mathematical computer packages is now a standard part of the modern undergraduate and graduate curriculum and an important tool in the core curriculum in mathematics, science, and engineering.
