Negative Positive
Title: University Student's Openion
Review: Please take this advice; I have been using this book for the past four months.This is a rare occasion. I never take to the time to go to a site and write a review unless there is some outstanding reason. This is my fourth year as an engineering student and while I have had some bad books, I have NEVER had a book this bad. For example, the text almost never gives full examples let alone examples on how to do the practice problems/homework problems. When the text gives example problems, it will randomly skip important steps. Ironically, in a lot of cases, it will skip the step/method that is being covered in the section. Also, the text mainly discusses theory and usually doesn't really show how to solve these equations. Furthermore, the solutions manual is just as bad. Solutions are given in a sloppy manner that are unclear and incomplete. I would not recommend this book to any university as an introductory differential equations text.
Is the review positive or negative?
