Edwards C. And D. Penney. Elementary Differential Equations With Boundary Value Problems. 6th | Ed

It starts with first-order equations, using the classic "population growth" and "cooling" models to show how calculus tracks change over time.

The 6th edition of Edwards and Penney’s Elementary Differential Equations with Boundary Value Problems endures because it respects two truths: students learn by doing, and they understand by visualizing. The text does not try to be encyclopedic; rather, it builds a coherent toolkit for interpreting the differential equations that arise in nature and technology. For the careful reader who works through its problems and reflects on its phase portraits, the book provides not just answers but a way of thinking—about rates of change, about stability and oscillation, and about the deep connection between local rules (a differential equation) and global behavior (its solution). In an age of ephemeral digital content, that pedagogical integrity remains rare and valuable. It starts with first-order equations, using the classic
