Review of Differential Equations Workbook For Dummies

By B. Heller - October 2, 2009

The work book is fine, but it is keyed to the Differential Equations for Dummies book written by the same author. The exercises are generally of ordinary difficulty, and there are some topics that are not covered. The book doesn't touch on Green Functions, but unfortunately that is true of most American texts on ordinary differential equations. There should have been more variety displayed in the application of ordinary differential equations, especially in solving problems in dynamics, ciruit analysis, fluid dynamics and perhaps even for basic problems in astronomy. For me the real value of ordinary differential equations is in its use in unlocking solutions to all kinds of practical problems. But overall, this book is a good review and well worth having in your mathematics library.

Very nice format to learn or review differential equations

By Leeber Cohen - June 21, 2010

This workbook requires that you have a knowledge of basic trigonometry and calculus. The workbooks in this series are wonderful because they provide short summaries with example problems. There then follows multiple problems for each subject with detailed solutions. This is the sbsolute key for individuals trying to review this subject or learn it on their own. In comparison to the Schaum's 3000 solved problems there is much less theory and many of the problems are easier to solve. The Schaum's series is aimed more at college and graduate students. There are a few unfortunate mistakes in the solved answers in this Dummies workbook which is slightly annoying. (That is why I took one star off) Does anyone know if the publisher has a website with the errata? If not I would suggest that the publisher should provide a website with corrections. For the money this book is a very good deal and Dr. Holzner should be congratulated. If you need to brush up on your linear algebra and... read more

Great Supplement to class

By Josh - November 3, 2011

I bought this book to supplement my current Diff Eq class, and it worked wonders. I had literally skipped or been doing other work in class for a few weeks and this book brought me back up to speed in no time. I would not expect someone with little to no math background to pick it up and understand everything that is going on in the book, but if you don't have a reasonable understanding of calculus your probably not worried about Diff Eq anyway.
