Some sections on the book seem confusing and unclear. For example, I do not really like how the section on "Existence and Uniqueness Theorem" was written. The author does not state the heart of the section in a way that is easy to understand. However, when it gets to example problems, it becomes easier to see the essence of the topic that is being discussed.
Awesome book. It is a little older but the content is mostly the same. What I mean by that is some chapters are in different order and some problems are different, other than that its pretty much the same as the most recent edition. If you want to learn differential equations this book is the way to go.
I purchased the book simply because it was required for MA 266 at Purdue. However, this book is like my TA, confusing and utterly useless. It'll give you a general idea of what's going on but won't really tell you anything specific. You'll be completely lost on 50% or more of the homework assignments. Not sure why Purdue insists on using this book when clearly there are more helpful alternatives.
I bought this book because it was one of two suggested textbooks for our Differential Equations class. Our prof said we would be done with stuff that this book covers in the first 3 classes, then move onto stuff from the other book. She wasn't kidding. But that's not really this book's fault. This book is ok, just a little basic. Not really my favorite.
Awesome
