Product Description
Differential Equations: An Introduction to Modern Methods and Applications is a textbook designed for a first course in differential equations commonly taken by undergraduates majoring in engineering or science. It emphasizes a systems approach to the subject and integrates the use of modern computing technology in the context of contemporary applications from engineering and science. Section exercises throughout the text are designed to give students hands-on experience in modeling, analysis, and computer experimentation. Optional projects at the end of each chapter provide additional opportunitites for students to explore the role played by differential equations in scientific and engineering problems of a more serious nature.

 Some things you should know September 1, 2008
Forgetful and doomed (Florida)
Has solutions for only odd problems. No table of contents, and no distinct indicator for each individual section or chapter so finding the section you want to look for is a bit of a hassle.
Other than that, it explains the answers well (so far).
 Terrible Book September 6, 2008

This book is poorly written, overly verbose, and poorly structured. After having consulted some other references, having figured out how to do the problems, and having completed the assigned problems, I am still unable to make ANY sense at all out of the book's explanations. Another specific criticism: In just about every section, the author introduces some new method or theorem in the problems, leaving the exercise to the reader. These introductions are very incomplete, and leave students groping in the dark. Then there are additional problems, "Using the method of problem x, solve..." Quite frustrating. Seriously, textbook publishers give free books to instructors... Do they look at them before making a selection? And for the price of this book, I expect to be able to learn differential equations just by putting the book under my pillow at night.
