Student Companion

They don’t have solutions to most of the problems and the solutions that they do have are not really helpful in terms of guiding you on what to do. If you get stuck on hard integration on a very specific problem and want to see what steps they took to solve it good luck finding it. I had bought this book to tutor my younger brother and it didn’t help at all. Waste of money and space.

I would have appreciated if the product description said that it was the solutions only. I got the wrong book by mistake. It also didn’t come in good condition.

Helpful because the book questions are difficult given the textbook's style.Unfortunately many problems are skipped. The ones that are covered, the steps can be incredibly brief compared to what you want.It's hard to know which ones will be covered. For instance, Section 2.1 covered 4, 7, 13, 16, 20.Not durable. New copy came with dinged edges and the back cover cut.

This is not the textbook but only a solution manual. Please be careful on it while you doing the purchase.

This book is truly awful. A better title would be "Differential Equations for Students Who Already Know How to Do Them". It skips the fundamentals of why methods work and goes on tangents about advanced topics, the fundamentals of which, again, it does not explain.

Not the actual text book

Waste of money

Not a very good textbook from which to learn Differential Equations. A LOT of steps are skipped and there are very few explanations for the few steps that exist. I think this book is fantastic for someone who's maybe taken ODE and needed a refresher, otherwise ... it's pretty useless. There are far more superior texts out there.
