SUMMARY

This discussion centers on recommendations for books suitable for Differential Equations (DE) and Partial Differential Equations (PDE) studies. A user suggests using Dover Publications as a resource, specifically mentioning the book with ISBN 0486649407 as a useful reference, despite its lengthy nature. Another user critiques the book with ISBN 0486659429 for its challenging writing style and presentation, deeming it difficult to engage with. Additionally, a third book with ISBN 048667620X is mentioned as a potential reference for PDE classes, noted for its high ratings on Amazon.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Differential Equations (DE)
  • Familiarity with Partial Differential Equations (PDE)
  • Basic mathematical modeling concepts
  • Experience with academic textbooks and their evaluation
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Dover Publications' catalog for additional DE and PDE resources
  • Explore reviews and ratings of mathematical modeling books on Amazon
  • Investigate alternative publishers for contemporary DE and PDE textbooks
  • Learn about effective strategies for evaluating academic texts
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in mathematics, particularly those focusing on Differential Equations and Partial Differential Equations, as well as anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of mathematical modeling through recommended literature.

I'm sure this has been asked and answered many times, but since I have a quick answer I'll go ahead. My suggestion is to search the site for more advice though.

I've been using this as a reference this semester. I like the book, but mainly as a reference, as it is quite lengthy to simply read all of it (in between studying for other classes as well) and the order is somewhat different from my actual class.
http://store.doverpublications.com/0486649407.html"

I did not like http://doverpublications.stores.yahoo.net/0486659429.html". I found it almost impossible to stay focused on the material. I'm not sure if it was the writing style or simply the presentation of the material, but I found it to be almost impenetrable. I typically don't enjoy math texts without problem, but this one just didn't work for me. I'm glad you reminded me, so I can put it up for sale.


I have http://doverpublications.stores.yahoo.net/048667620x.html" that I plan to reference for my PDE class. I haven't looked at page 1 though, so I have no official review. Amazon.com has quite a few and it was rated very high.

I don't always or only use Dover books as supplements. Many times, they books are so dated that the material isn't of much use or the writing style is difficult. They are cheap though, so I typically look there first. That's not to say that I don't have books over $100-$200 that I'd consider to be terrible either, but I don't feel very bad when a cheap book turns out bad or doesn't get used.
