Calculus Ordinary and partial differential equations

AI Thread Summary
For those learning differential equations independently, several textbook recommendations include Dennis G. Zill's book, which reportedly has a solution manual available online, and GF Simmons' "Differential Equations with Historical Notes" or Tenenbaum and Pollard's work, both of which are suitable for beginners. For more advanced learners, Coddington and Levinson's text is suggested. Additionally, the website mathispower4u.com offers a valuable resource with short videos that present and solve differential equations, allowing learners to pause and practice. Users are encouraged to seek solutions for specific problems online or share them within the forum for assistance.

Hi,

I'm attempting to learn differential equations on my own. Does anyone recommended a textbook that comes with/has a solution manual? I learn faster when I can see a problem worked out if I can't solve it.

Thanks.

Yes, there is a website called mathispower4u.com with a large collection of short videos on differential equations that should help you along. The videos present and solve a problem allowing you to pause while you try to do it.

I think you can find a solution manual for Dennis G Zill's book on internet.

But for beginners GF Simmons Differential Equations with Historical Notes or Tenenbaum Pollard is a very good choice.
Coddington Levinson is an advanced level book.

You can try to find the solution of individual problems on internet or alternatively post the problems in this forum.
 
Thank you
 
By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
