The book is good but the thrift book store that sold me is a scam the item is not in very good condition don't buy from them at any cost

Good introductory course in ODEs
I've used two different texts for a refresher course in differential equations. This is the better of the two The text is clear; the printing and formatting are well done and the problems are well-organized with progressive difficulty.
However, I'm bothered by the number of errors in even the example problems. Some chapters have several errors - mostly incorrect signs and simple addition/subtraction errors. But as those errors get propagated in these sorts of problems, the consequences can lead to very different solutions.
