Summary: Wonderfully written, straight-to-the-point book
Comment: Whenever I want to brush up my ODE and PDE skills, I will reach out to this one. It is like instant "stock-up", refresh my memories very fast. Good buy.

Rating: 5
Summary: Good, to-the-point, well-balanced.
Comment: I like this book a lot more than my Diff. Eq. textbook, mostly because it focuses on application rather than abstraction. Bronson does a good job of explaining the mechanisms and applications of DE, while cutting through most of the kludgy rhetoric and laborious explanations of my course textbook. The examples are straight-forward without too much of a stretch to see how they work, while the explanations are quick and to-the-point.

I would thoroughly recommend buying the Schaum's Easy Outline for DE in addition to this book, since I find the Easy Outline to be easier to pick up quickly on a first read. The Easy Outline is essentially the Outline, boiled down to the bare essentials and re-written to be easier to absorb quickly. The regular outline (this book) does a good job of filling in the gaps and providing more examples on top of the Easy Outilne.

My copy (2nd edition, current) shows an original copyright date of 1973, with another in 1994 to reflect the Library of Congress title update (the title change was minute, and not worth repeating). I was surprised by the extreme similarity between some examples in the Ouline versus those in my course textbook (carrying a 2003 copyright in its 7th edition). It makes you wonder if this is the reference for the textbook writers!

My only criticism of this book is that it is not a textbook. If it were, I wouldn't have to spend four times as much on another book which I use for not much more than the exercises. Oh, and the Outline HAS plenty of problems, both solved and not.

Summary: Differential Equations-Schaum's Outline Series
Comment: I have reviewed several versions of this work in connection
with taking the course and passing the Engineering In Training
Licensure Examination. Topics; such as, valuation of parameters,
constants of integration, homogeneous and non-homogeneous
solutions, nth order equations, applications of differential
equations, equations in electric circuits and gram mixtures
in organic chemistry are all covered in considerable detail.
This work together with Boyce and DiPrima plus the professor's notes helped me to get an "A" in the course. Differential
Equations is a course requiring considerable practice to master
the various techniques. I spent between 15 minutes and 2 hours
per day depending upon the juncture point in the course.
Obviously, studying for the mid-term and final exam required
more concentrated study. Overall, this book is a gem.
You will need it to handle the various twists and turns
in the subject. It is geared toward the math major or engineering perspective so that the problems vary from simple to complex.
In this course, you cannot let the so-called grass grow
under your feet; otherwise, the pace of the presentation
will bury you in confusing details before long.
