Help Finding Textbook for Ordinary Differential Equations

[trajan22]

Hey all, I was hoping someone would be able to point me at a good ordinary differential equations text. Basically right now I have been working out of 'ordinary differential equations" by boyce and brannon. but I am fed up with the book and really would just like a good book to be used as a reference. Does anyone have any recommendations?

If you're looking for a reference, try the Dover text by Tenenbaum and Pollard (called Ordinary Differential Equations). It's well organized as a reference for solving specific types of ODEs and using specific methods, as well as having proofs and motivations.

As the man said, Tenenbaum and Pollard is excellent as a reference, and is probably quite good for learning if you're sharper than I am.

I learned ODEs from the Boyce and DiPrima text and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Boyce and DiPrima is good intro to ODEs. Its rather wordy and I like that.

We had this discussion just a few weeks ago! (Try the "search" button.)

Is it too late to suggest moving this thread to "Book Recommendations"?
