Preface to the Second Edition
This second edition, which has become necessary within so short a time, presents no major changes.
However new results in the line of work of the author and of J. K. HaIe have made it advisable to rewrite seetion (8.5). Also, some references to most recent work have been added.

Preface to the First Edition In the last few decades the theory of ordinary differential equations
has grown rapidly under the action of forces which have been working both from within and without: from within, as a development and deepening of the concepts and of the topological and analytical methods brought about by LYAPUNOV, POINCARE, BENDIXSON, and a few others at the turn of the century; from without, in the wake of the technological development, particularly in communications, servomechanisms, automatie controls, and electronics. The early research of the authors just mentioned lay in challenging problems of astronomy, but the line of thought thus produced found the most impressive applications in the new fields.
The body of research now accumulated is overwhelming, and many books and reports have appeared on one or another of the multiple aspects of the new line of research which some authors call .. qualitative theory of differential equations"
The purpose of the present volume is to present many of the viewpoints and questions in a readable short report for which completeness is not claimed. The bibliographical notes in each section are intended to be a guide to more detailed expositions and to the original papers.
Some traditional topics such as the Sturm comparison theory have been omitted. Also excluded were all those papers, dealing with special differential equations motivated by and intended for the applications. General theorems have been emphasized wherever possible. Not all proofs are given but only the typical ones for each seetion and some are just outlined.
I wish to thank the colleagues who have read parts of the manuscript and have made suggestions: W.R FULLER, RA. GAMBILL, M. GOLOMB, J.K.HALE, N.D.KAZARINOFF, C.RPUTNAM, and E.SILVERMAN. I am indebted to A. W. RANSOM and W.E. THOMPSON for helping with the proofs. Finally, I want to express my appreciation to the Springer Verlag for its accomplished and disceming handling of the manuscript.
