My professor has us using C. Henry Edwards and David E. Penney, Differential Equation and Boundary Value Problems, Fourth Edition. However, I don't really like it as our textbook. Anyone else have any recommendations?

i think that is a good book, but another that i think is maybe more fun is the one by martin braun.
guterman and nitecki us another great one.
