Yeah, that's not gonna work

What? Strauss doesn't need proof experience?

you sure do seem to like talking about yourself on social media

My undergrad ODEs class used Zill's First Course in Differential Equations with Applications.

I've never heard of the one you linked, but it's probably fine. ODE's at an undergraduate level really aren't bad.

>Have any of you used this text,
yes.

>how was it, and did you like it?
fine and yes.

>Because I plan on working through it after I finish Calculus by Stewart
learn some proof writing first if you want to get the most out of it. Calculus should be your last 'please don't ask me to do proofs' maths course and even then its completely optional as there are plenty of calculus books that use proofs.

>so I can finally work through PDEs by Strauss.
Strauss is not a good first book to learn PDEs from. try one of the generic pde books that colleges use.

should one focus on the quantitative or quantitative theory of differential eq? or both? in what order? since most differential equations can’t be solved in closed form, should one focus on qualitative DEs? any books or resources recommendations are welcome

lol second occurrence of ‘quantitative’ should read ‘qualitative’

Evans has the best text on it
