Product Description
Tips, tricks and lots of practice to help students get a handle on these complex calculus problems
Pre–calculus classes prepare students for studies in calculus and other advanced Differential equations are essential in physics, economics, engineering, and many other scientific and technical disciplines. This new Dummies Workbook is a hands–on companion for students grappling with differential equations in classes such as calculus, AP calculus, physics, and engineering. It features numerous practice exercises and clear, concise examples to help students improve their problem–solving skills and score better in science, math, and standardized tests. This practice–oriented workbook covers such challenging topics as first–order and second–order differential equations, constant coefficients, undetermined coefficients, variation of parameters, initial–value problems, the Laplace transform, and more.

Summary: Review of Differential Equations Workbook For Dummies
Rating: 4
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.
Summary: Back to school
Rating: 5
I am returning to college, after 30 plus years I lost my job, and have found this book (and the whole line of "For Dummies" technical books) an excellent refresher course.
