The qualitative analysis of differential equations and the development of dynamical systems theory
Tatiana Roque
pp. 313-324
The first scientific work concerning a qualitative approach to the problem of solving differential equations was published by Poincaré in the end of the nineteenth century. Before him, the usual methods to treat linear differential equations tried to solve them explicitly. These works gave birth to a theory now known as Dynamical Systems. We give here a brief account of our researches concerning the development of this theory up to the 1960's.
