1 out of 5 stars

Not for beginners without a course instructor
Rating explanation: One star because contrary to the book title, it is not for beginners, at least not without being in an instructor led course. This book may be great for a continuing course in DEs. The student solution manual leaves something to be desired, but if you can find the instructor's solution manual, you can get all the answers for checking your work. It does not contain any worked out problems, just answers. I am about 1/3 of the way through chapter 2, and one thing I am finding consistent concerning the exercise sets is that the problems are much more difficult than "a first course" should have - at least for a self-learner like myself. I've done some work out of Boyce's Elementary DEs, 6th ed., and I am finding that it is much better suited for self-study, especially if you get the matching student's solutions manual. Another advantage of the Boyce 6th ed. text is that it is exactly what Sal Khan uses for his DE course on the khanacademy site. If you have completed differential and integral calculus, I recommend the Khan Academy course; it's free, and Sal really does a good job.Read full review

The book offers great examples and breakdown and of processes. Depending on the professor of the course, you should be able to pick up on each of the subjects quickly.

Excellent seller. i would order something again in the future.
little confusing because there are not many examples, so I have to work so hard to understand the problem. I recommend buying the student solution for this book.

Not Enough Examples for the Chapter Problems
Disliked the fact that their aren't enough examples of the chapter Problems. The book is way to expensive. Does not provide all of the solutions in the back of the text (only selected problems).

Good book
A good introduction to Differential Equations. Highly recommended for engineering and science majors.
