Review title: Worst book in the history of textbooks
Product review: I'm an undergraduate applied mathematics major and do a lot of modeling that requires differential equations, although I use them every day I've never had a formal class on it.That being said, this is the. most. horrible. maths textbook I have /ever/ read. It's bad enough that the sticker price is so high. The author manages to perfectly obfuscate the most simple topics that were already covered in a normal higher level calc course to the point that I wondered if it was even talking about the same topic. If your get a bad professor along with this textbook, I would suggest to drop the class faster than a hot potato or get the Tenenbaum and Pollard text "Ordinary Differential Equations." It is an excellent resource for differential equations and also very cheap.
