Dover book

Its has certainly been a long time since my last post. But in the last few days I discovered a little book first published in 1963 called "Ordinary Differential Equations" that single-handedly gave me the inspiration for this post.

The book was re-published by Dover publications in 1985. Written by two professors Morris Tenenbaum from Cornell University and Harry Pollard from Purdue University, the book is the best reviewed about its subject on Amazon.com More than forty years old how can this be? And to top it all its price is less than $20.

When I took a course in differential equations a few years ago the textbook required for the course was definitely more than $100. So if you know what derivatives and integrals are, and want to learn about differential equations consider this book.
