Review: This book is quite good - This text is surprisingly accessible and has aged quite well, considering it was originally published in 1963. As a practicing physicist and engineer, it's also quite a handy reference to have lying about. It's rare to find a book which serves as both a good book to learn from and a good reference book for someone who already knows what they're doing. As usual, Dover has also provided a very reasonably priced printing of the work.
Review: My own little opinion on this great book - I took ODE this semester, and I was liking the subject until I got to read the textbooks assigned to it. It is impressive how the world is filled with giant text books that are absolutely dull and useless and extremely expensive. Luckly I have always been fond of desertcart, so I searched "Ordinary Differential Equations" and came upon this book, which at first glance looks tiny and unpromising, but trust me, this little beast doesn't only talk about ODE, it takes the subject, makes it its own, and in the most elegant of fashions transmits the knowledge so well that it even if I live in Ecuador and English is only my second language, I could grasp all what was necessary to, not only pass ODE, but to take my knowledge and apply it to computer programming right away. Trust me, if a book teaches so well that you can go ahead and apply it just like that, it is something special. Now strictly speaking on it's qualities: First, the book is a breeze to read, you will not find yourself reading back again through the text because of the lack of good pedagogy, but be aware, the writer does not bother to make you laugh either (a quality most serious books should not have, but I like what Stephen Prata did on C++ Primer Plus). Secondly, Ordinary Differential Equations has all that you will probably need for the subject. Check the MIT Open Course Ware, I downloaded the exams on the web page and did them singlehandedly, only with what this book taught me. Actually, you'll see lots of other topics that MIT doesn't even cover, for example it has a very interesting section on numerical methods. Something that has to be mentioned is that this book covers a great amount of material in a excellent order and pace. The writer never assumes that you are a genius on calculus, so he always makes sure to guide you, holding your hand on each topic, repeating theorems already mentioned to refresh your head, not skipping too many steps when solving examples. This feature is seen at it's best in the Series Methods section of the book. Also, the amount of problems is wonderful, they all have solutions and are right next to the problems, unlike the convention, which gives solutions only to the odd number problems and has them written at the very end of the book, something that I hate, for the constant page turning greatly damages the book. Don't you worry, the writer solves many examples and each subject, explaining everything so you can work on the problem set rather easily. The only setbacks that I noticed on this book are that, when teaching the prerequisites to a subject, it doesn't bother to demonstrate the theorems (which is fine by me, because you should already know that stuff in the fist place), and it doesn't have all the fancy graphics that the outrageously expensive ODE books have (for this I use Matlab or Mathematica, so I also don't care about his). You also have to consider that his books is quite old, and the numerical methods are a bit dated, still, any good teacher will fill you in with the little updates made to the subject. All in all this book is nothing short of amazing, I give it all my fingers up to anyone who is taking ODE or wants an awesome reference book. I found it easy to read, precise, and vast. This book will probably do you more justice than anything worth >$100.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quick and To the Point
*by A***R on August 30, 2013*

I've become a fan over the Dover books as a quick pickup for math. They are inexpensive, usually pretty solid technically, and understand that you are probably not a mathematician and need your hand held long enough to find your sea legs. You're busy. You need to know this stuff so you can do something else. You're an engineer of some kind with tight deadlines. You're wearing a black belt with brown shoes. You drink way too much coffee and really need to let your kids know you love them more than you do. I know your kind. And it'll be okay. That aside, make sure you have a solid footing on your calculus, because if you didn't do well with calculus, you'll suck with this too. The mistakes just multiply. Again, the authors understand you're not a mathematician, but they know you're not an idiot either and don't need your hand held. If you've got those basic prerequisites (1. Calc 2. Not an idiot) and need to get in the know on DiffEQ, this is a good one.
