 A Decent Differential Equations Book December 10, 2008
Jennifer R. Creamer
It's a decent book. It has enough examples and explanations are clear. It also has a solutions guide available to check work, which I find really helps. For some reason, many books don't have them.
 Excellent Textbook December 1, 2008
Eric Boyer (Canada)
Very good textbook. Has some weak spots (a few sections were poorly explained), but overall the explanations were good, there were lots of examples, and lots of exercises with full solutions.

If you are a college professor looking to brush up, then it is fine, otherwise this book is terrible.
Too hard November 24, 2008
Reviewer (ny)
The book uses weird symbols than what I am used to. Hard language to understand. I wouldn't recommend it to another person. The book I recommend is Ordinary Differential Equations by Morris Tenenbaum and Harry Pollard. They use symbols we learned in college and don't throw you into a loop by saying " what did they mean by that?" Personally, I don't like someone stuffing something down people's throat without explaining in detail what they mean in plain terms. I found their language unfriendly.
Excellent Everything! October 30, 2008

This product wasn't the book I expected to buy, but it was better because it is the version that includes the 'Boundary value problems'. the book is very useful and I really like to look to it as a resource when studying or whatnot. I also bought the solutions manual, which helps sometimes, but it seems that the book itself is enough because the solutions in the back of the book are all there, even the even numbers! Great book! but, personally I bought this book because of school and the class that I am taking requires it!
