    Good iOS apps that help in taking notes?

    Calculus Comparing Calculus Books: Which Edition of Thomas' Calculus is Right for You?

    I've the 11th edition of Thomas' Calculus. I don't say that it is the best book, but it is a nice one. Other than that, you can try Gilbert Strang's calculus book. Books don't matter much, methinks. Find anyone, and start studying it.

    Please recommend me a good textbook for Differential Equations?

    How about Tenebaum and Pollard. Or you may want to take G.F. Simmon's Differential Equations with Historical Notes. I had this, and it is a very good book.
