I need a good book on differential equations.

At my university a used copy in even dreadful condition goes for $150. Absolutely horrifying.MidgetDwarf said:I think Boyce de Prima is too expensive for what it offers. At a hundred dollars a used copy? no.
mpresic said:You may be right MidgetDwarf. I used Simmons (already mentioned) as a sophomore and I liked it. I have some books by Sheldon Ross, but not his DE one. If his DE one is like his other books, it should be very good.

One highly recommended book for beginners is "Differential Equations: An Introduction to Modern Methods and Applications" by James R. Brannan and William E. Boyce. It covers the fundamentals of differential equations in a clear and accessible manner.
For advanced study, "Ordinary Differential Equations" by Morris Tenenbaum and Harry Pollard and "Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers" by Stanley J. Farlow are considered to be excellent resources.
Yes, there are many online resources available, including video lectures, interactive tutorials, and practice problems. Some popular websites for learning differential equations include Khan Academy, Coursera, and MIT OpenCourseWare.
"Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes" by George F. Simmons is a great choice for those looking to understand the practical applications of differential equations in various fields, such as physics, engineering, and economics.
Some helpful supplemental resources include solution manuals, study guides, and practice problem sets. Additionally, some textbooks may have online resources such as interactive simulations or additional practice problems. It is also beneficial to seek out online forums or study groups to discuss and clarify concepts with others studying differential equations.
