Fully-worked solutions to problems encountered in the bestselling differentials text Introduction to Ordinary Differential Equations, Student Solutions Manual , 4th Edition provides solutions to practice problems given in the original textbook. Aligned chapter-by-chapter with the text, each solution provides step-by-step guidance while explaining the logic behind each step in the process of solving differential equations. From first-order equations and higher-order linear differentials to constant coefficients, series solutions, systems, approximations, and more, this solutions guide clarifies increasingly complex calculus with practical, accessible instruction.
I bought this from Half Price Books in 2006 or 2007 because I'm a math geek, and I thought it would be fun to own and work through a calculus book from the 1960s. But then I kept putting it off. And off. ...Aaand off.
So last year, I decided "I WILL DEFINITELY READ THAT MATH BOOK NEXT YEAR." So the beginning of 2015, the first book allowed off my bookshelf was this. This has been my read-in-the-morning and read-at-night book for a month and a half. There was a lot more remembering/re-teaching calculus and differential equations than I thought there was going to be. But I finally finished! And I'm proud of myself for remembering/re-teaching/re-learning calculus and DiffEq from my college days. But I won't kid myself: I know that I'll have re-forgotten everything in the next few months, if not weeks or days.
Ross' ways of explaining and illustrating problems were sometimes a little weird, but I thought it was kind of charming (and yet aggravating sometimes, too) the way he'd say "We'll leave this to the reader to prove..." or "The explanation for the proof is beyond the scope of this book." No, no, no... I need *you* to show me how to prove this. Don't leave it up to me!

My rating didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing clear Bookshelves/Tags (create as many as you like...)
choose shelves... currently-reading (some html is ok) add book/author What did you think?
