Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems , 8th Edition, with ODE Architect CD Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: A Decent Differential Equations Book
Comment: 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.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent Textbook
Comment: 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.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Too hard
Comment: 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.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent Everything!
Comment: 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!
