Product Description
This revision of the market-leading book maintains its classic strengths: contemporary approach, flexible chapter construction, clear exposition, and outstanding problems. Like its predecessors, this revision 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. Sound and Accurate Exposition of Theory--special attention is made to methods of solution, analysis, and approximation. Use of technology, illustrations, and problem sets help readers develop an intuitive understanding of the material. Historical footnotes trace development of the discipline and identify outstanding individual contributions.

"Excellent Everything!"
Written By: Stephanie Chau
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!
"Got cheated"
Written By: Prashant Kulkarni
The bookseller send me just a CD while I was expecting a book with CD. It is not mentioned anywhere that it would be just a CD not whole book. And if I asked for refund he is not willing to refund. He is here on Amazon.com to cheat people.
"Not so hot"
Written By: Z. Williams
I'm definitely not a fan of this book, the example problems rarely correlate to the actual problems in the book (most people learn by example). As other people have said there are solutions in the back...well that's not true, there are only answers, solutions which are step by step cannot be found there or in the solutions manual! If you must use this book i would highly recommend checking out for free "Paul's Online Math Notes" which contains a much more lucid intro to this stuff.
"Just burned CD"
Written By: Phillip A. Boyd
Thought this was the book, and it was just a solutions manual CD...and it was a burned CD at that...Definately illegal.
"Poor quality, poor material, overpriced"
Written By: Mister Peanut
I had to buy this book for my ODE class, and it may be the worst book I have had to buy yet.
First, the text is not very clear, and there are few examples. Methods for solving DEs are (sometimes) introduced in the problems, rather than in the text.
Second, the quality of the book is poor. I bought mine new, and there were ink splotches on several pages--not the quality I would expect from a $160 college textbook! Besides the splotches, the paper quality is poor as well. I also was bothered by having to tear the CD out, leaving a ripped page in the textbook. You can tear along the preforated edge, but this leaves a ridge in the pages that is most annoying.
The software that comes with is OK, but the videos seem like something from a 6th grade science show.
