SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommended resources for undergraduate students seeking to learn about differential equations. Key book suggestions include "Ordinary Differential Equations" by Morris Tenenbaum and Harry Pollard, "Elementary Differential Equations" by Earl D. Rainville, and "Ordinary Differential Equations in the Complex Domain" by Einar Hille. Additional resources include video lectures from MIT's course on differential equations and a mobile application for solving ordinary differential equations available at Software Hitech.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of calculus
  • Familiarity with mathematical notation
  • Knowledge of ordinary differential equations
  • Access to educational resources like textbooks and online courses
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore "Ordinary Differential Equations" by Morris Tenenbaum and Harry Pollard
  • Study "Elementary Differential Equations" by Earl D. Rainville
  • Review MIT's video lectures on differential equations
  • Investigate the mobile application for solving ordinary differential equations
USEFUL FOR

Undergraduate students, educators, and anyone interested in mastering the fundamentals of differential equations.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good book on "beginner's" differential equations.
I am at an undergraduate level, it that helps you gage the content.

thanks in advance

Ordinary or partial? Theoretical or applied?

For a first look at ordinary differential equations I like
Ordinary Differential Equations by Morris Tenenbaum and Harry Pollard
A good introduction.
Elementary Differential Equations by Earl D. Rainville
Very well written
Ordinary Differential Equations by Edward L. Ince
A bit harder, but filled with good things.
Ordinary Differential Equations in the Complex Domain by Einar Hille
For the complex domain perspective.
Ordinary Differential Equations by V.I. Arnold
An interesting perspective.
 
Oh wow, those look awesome, thanks guys.

Also I apologize for butchering the spelling of "Introductory" :P
