Book Reviews of Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems
Book Review: Good book
Summary: 4 Stars
I used this book for a course on ordinary differential equations. It is one of the better textbooks that I have used. The explanations and examples in this textbook is very clear and the problems are good. Unlike most math textbooks, that focus primarily on theory (which most students are not that interested in), this one illustrates the usefulness of the subject and involves some applications. I also like that the answers in the back includes both odd and even number problems, so I can always check my answers. However, some sections in the textbook (for example, the chapter on series solutions) do not have enough examples. Some of the proofs and explanations are also skipped and it expects the reader to just accept equations as is. This is probably not the best textbook on the subject, but it serves its purpose.
Summary of Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems
Written primarily for undergraduate students of mathematics, science, or engineering, who typically take a course on differential equations during their first or second year. The main prerequisite is a working knowledge of calculus.The environment in which instructors teach, and students learn differential equations has changed enormously in the past few years and continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Computing equipment of some kind, whether a graphing calculator, a notebook computer, or a desktop workstation is available to most students. The seventh edition of this classic text reflects this changing environment, while at the same time, it maintains its great strengths - a contemporary approach, flexible chapter construction, clear exposition, and outstanding problems. In addition many new problems have been added and a reorganisation of the material makes the concepts even clearer and more comprehensible.
Like its predecessors, this edition is written from the viewpoint of the applied mathematician, focusing both on the theory and the practical applications of differential equations as they apply to engineering and the sciences.
