Elementary Diffential Equations by Boyce and DiPrima,
By Dr. Joseph S. Maresca "Dr. Joseph S. Maresca ... (Bronxville, New York USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Elementary Differential Equations (Hardcover)
This book is excellent for math majors or engineers who have hada strong background in higher mathematics. The work provides a step-by-step analysis of the classic problem areas i.e. initial value problems, solution boundaries, homogeneous and non-homogeneous solutions, the exponential form, higher order differential equations, variation of parameters, LaPlace transformation and other more exotic applications too numerous to list here. For non-math majors, the book may become difficult to follow. Therefore; it may help to consult with the Schaum's because the applications to engineering are numerous and profound. Mastery of this subject will provide you with a

written by math professors for math professors,
By "einmench2" (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Elementary Differential Equations (Hardcover)
I am taking a differential equations course for the engineering program at Drexel University and I must say that this is one of the worst text books I have ever come across. I wonder what Boyce and Diprima were smoking as they were writting this book. First of all make sure you brush up on your greek before reading this book, there are more greek symbols in it then there are numbers or letters from the english alphabet. This book is so vague that you may as well consult a magic 8-ball for guidance. Basically, if you buy this book, prepare to fail. It skips so many steps its rediculous. My mind turns to mush every time I open it. For my homework in this course using this book, I just write the giberish my magic 8 ball tells me to. Even the TAs are lost in this book. Consider this a warning and not a rating. STAY AWAY!

Good intro book to accompany a course,
By Edward J Gorcenski (Troy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Elementary Differential Equations (Hardcover)
I have had the privledge to use this book for an introductory course in differential equations with colleages of Dr. Boyce. This book is well written and contains numerous examples and a plethora of problems. However, a student would do well to have a very firm knowledge of calculus and a quick mathematical mind; some of the methods covered are not candy coated to go down easier. As such, it is important that a strong professor and a strong curriculum accompany this book. This is NOT a good book for self-instruction. However, it is a very useful reference to go back to when dealing with more advanced mathematical topics.
