An Introduction to Differential Equations and Their Applications (Dover Books on Mathematics)

My son needed for college, says it is one of the most informative manuals he has had to date! Worth every penny.

good price, arrived in great condition

The book was fine except that it contained an unusual amount of errors. UMBC's Dr. Roustamian has set up an errata page for this book (in which I personally have added several entries) which goes through many of the book's errors.

Was the required textbook, and seeing as how cheap it was, I have nothing to complain about!

The examples are not great, and the instruction can be confusing at times. The problems are at the end of every section, which is nice if one wants to focus on just one section rather than having to pick through all of them at the end of a chapter.

Bought for college student

I used this book in my differential equations class in the Fall 2015 semester. The textbook has so many typos in it that one of the math professors at my college has created an errata webpage (see hyperlink below) that receives new reports of typos almost every semester. These errors are not generally pedantic or trivial, either. Undergraduate students regularly find that the answers to problems in the back of the book are wrong. As an undergraduate, I was able to find three typos in the first six weeks of the course. They are now posted on the aforementioned errata page. So unless you are willing to tolerate multitudes of typos *or* this is a required textbook for your course, it is not recommended that you buy this book.http://userpages.umbc.edu/~rostamia/farlow-errata.html

Really good product! Absolutely worth its price. Almost like a new book, much better than I imagined. Can't be better!

If only other math books were done this way. The presentation is clear with worked examples and plain English. No puzzling over a bad sentence or paragraph saying, "What on Earth does that mean?" Instead effort can be focused on learning about differential equations and gaining an understanding of them.

Libro prodotto in versione economica da Dover, la ristampa utilizzata è in binanco nero e non scala di griggio. Pertanto purtroppo in diverse parti come riquadri di testo ed immagini risulta poco leggibile e di bassa qualità.
