Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems (3rd)
by Edwards and Penney (UGA)

It's the textbook I'm using for my course this semester and it's really readable textbook. I've had problems with other math books but this book is clear in its explanations of theorems and examples.

It adds explanations on how to use programs such as Maple and Excel to approximate or solve differential equations and the subject matters ranges from introductory differential equations to LaPlace Transforms.

Does anyone else know of any good books for Diffy Q? I might end taking a course over summer on this matter... Just like to know things I can work with.
