Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)While Ledder tries an innovative approach to teaching differential equations in his book, the attempt fails miserably. The book goes into detail explaining things at the conceptual level, but it leaves much of the technical math explanation to the reader in "instant exercises" and then does not actually cover examples that help solve the vast majority of the highly technical problems seen in the end of each chapter and on any exams you will take with your professor (the section on partial differential equations is most guilty of this). Furthermore, the material it does cover on its own is usually done in vague, unclear terms (with a couple notable exceptions involving linear systems). The modeling bits are somewhat interesting, but this book is not very useful in terms of learning to solve and manipulate the differential equations yourself. Unless you plan on learning all of the material in class, this book will have very little use for you.
