Written primarily for undergraduate students of mathematics, science, or engineering, who typically take a course on differential equations during their first or second year. The main prerequisite is a working knowledge of calculus. The environment in which instructors teach, and students learn differential equations has changed enormously in the past few years and continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Computing equipment of some kind, whether a graphing calculator, a notebook computer, or a desktop workstation is available to most students. The seventh edition of this classic text reflects this changing environment, while at the same time, it maintains its great strengths - a contemporary approach, flexible chapter construction, clear exposition, and outstanding problems. In addition many new problems have been added and a reorganisation of the material makes the concepts even clearer and more comprehensible. Like its predecessors, this edition is written from the viewpoint of the applied mathematician, focusing both on the theory and the practical applications of differential equations as they apply to engineering and the sciences.

First/Second Year Differential Equations
I bought this book because I found I was hogging a copy from the university library. If you are doing differential equations courses in either a mathematics or possibly a physics degree, then I would recommend this as it has in pretty much of anything I would imagine you would need, at least at first and second year level (I'm second year, so cannot give an opinion about use for third/fourth years) There are sections covering both numerical and analytical solutions. Yes, the text can be a bit dry in places, but it never treats you like an idiot, and I don't think many people read books like this for fun.
Looking for extra problems to work through? Buy this book. Lecturer is an idiot and/or lecture notes are poor? Buy this book.
