 Good, but a supplement is recommended May 26, 2005

This is a good book on ordinary differential equations. Examples are very helpful to learn how to do problems. They are pretty much the best way to learn how to solve the equations. Also, there are answers to every problem in the textbook, so you can check your answer. However this book has some nuances which you should consider: Main important points on how to solve ODEs are not highlighted (only some are, and those are mostly the theorems). The important stuff IS in the chapters, but you gotta pick it out for yourself. For that reason I recommend getting some used ODE book for cheap, that has all the important concepts highlighted (Edwards/Penney comes to mind).
Great text for ODE's class June 1, 2007

I used this text in my ordinary differential equations class and found it to be very helpfull. This text had good coverage of material for an upper class undergraduate or first year graduate course. Each subject was introduced in a clear manner with a detailed outline of the derivation of the method being used. I had another text while I was taking this course and the authors of that text would give you a theorem and then the method or formula to solve your given problem with no connection between the two. This book was very best in allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of what you were doing. The authors did clearly state the theorems, but did lack in proof in most cases. They did gave an outline to proof most of the time, which was helpful in working my own proof. Overall this text is a good one and I would strongly recommend it.
An excellent book to study Differential Eqns July 20, 1999

Simply a superb book! Mathematically rigorous (though not to an anal analysis level) and illustrated with many fundamental applications. An exilarating journey from simple first order ODE's to separable PDE's with fourier series. Has a strong section on systems of first order ODE's and Laplace transform meathods. A continuous reference when studying higher mathematics.

Good book, and covers a well range. JustAsk is a feature they have for an extra cost. While I think it is better then the pearson prentice hall books and online content it still skips steps with eigen values and vectors.
An excellent text! July 30, 2003

The best, and most comprehensive introductory (and then some) text for differential equations. The matherial is presented first rather basic, and then goes more in depth. Theory is presented as appropriate, and is presented very well. Narrative is very clear, and easy to understand. I do, however, think that the book is most beneficial for math majors. The wide-range of topics presented is very impressive. Answers in the back for the all the problems is a bonus. Truly an excellent book -- for both in class and self-study.
