 Differential Equations Text September 10, 2008
Quick delivery, condition as stated. Out of the three books that I ordered, this one came first. I like the fact that I could track the package as it was shipped. If the other orders I had placed had that feature, it would have been not nearly as stressful.
 So far it's not that bad September 21, 2004

I am midway through our semester and I have to say that so far
I am impressed with this textbook. It is not heavily bogged down in proofs...sorry math majors...but shows you how
to solve the problems in each chapter. I can't really complain but if your a math major who loves proofs, then look elsewhere. If your like me and just want to learn how to solve the problems, this is a good start. I also recommend "Ordinary Differential Equations" by Pollard/Tenenbaum. Good luck.
could be worse January 22, 2003

Granted, the semester is young, but so far this book's not too bad. Especially considering last semester I had to endure part of the McCallum/Hughes-Hallet series of calculus books for Multivariable/Vector Calculus. In comparison, this book has far more practice problems where you just work out the equations, rather than having to contend with applications and word problems while still wrestling with the concepts. While the examples are a little convoluted, at least they draw parallels to the problems, something the McCallum et al. series does not. In short, this may not be the best math book, but it could be a lot worse.

It appears I'm the only person not from ithaca to review this book. I assume they're using this text at Cornell, or ithaca college, but I used this text at Texas A&M. Perhaps it was the instructor, but i didn't think that this book was that bad. Some of the proofs and explainations and examples were pretty lousy, but the assignment problems were pretty diverse, and i thought most of the explainations and examples were adequate. What i'm trying to say is that this text isn't that bad....
This book is'nt great, but surely it's adequate July 21, 2000

This is the required text for a math class I am currently taking. While the book is not spectacular, it is written at an elementary level and it is not mired in proofs, so one can learn the material simply by opening the book and reading. A definite strength of this book is that it covers a wide range of problems, from ordinary DE's to some PDE's. But it also includes whole chapters on applications to mechanical and electrical systems(circuits), as well as numerical methods and Laplace Transformations. The book is clearly written as an introductory text, but it covers a broad range of material applicable to higher level courses.
