 Very helpful! August 29, 2009

This book, written in an entertaining style, was just what I needed. The author covers complicated topics in a way that makes them easier to understand. Very helpful if you're taking a course or want a refresher.

There are many steps missing in the derivations which the author may feel are obvious, but where not for me. Based on the title i expected more entrance level. Not recommended for starters in the topic but maybe useful as 'refresh'.
Pretty Good, But Not Great July 8, 2009
Just A. Geek
I purchased a used copy of this book a month ago. I wanted an easy book for reviewing Differential Equations as I took a class in college a few years ago. The book is well laid out and given the prerequisite level of math background you need to understand (Calculus) to get into a class in Diff-Eq it is very good at explaining things. Unfortunately it is still a very difficult book to just try and read. I will be buying a copy of 'Differential Equations Workbook for Dummies' as a companion to this book, as this book definitely lacks enough workable examples to get a real feel for the concepts it tries to explain. I would definitely recommend that any student taking a first course in Diff-Eq buy this book as a companion study guide.

This is a extremely well written and editted presentation. I have used this book as refresher course before I began going back to college (after 20 years) and it worked !!!!
