Notes on Diffy Qs: Differential Equations for Engineers
The text is written in a comprehensive way although it is an extension of the class notes. It covers required topics as the first of differential equations for engineering students. This is a useful book, but many concepts are not explained in detail. It’s good if students read this text as well as follow another textbook, e.g., “Edwards and Penney, Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems: Computing and Modeling” to understand the concepts clearly.
The content seems accurate.
The text covers differential equations for undergraduate students and will not be obsolete within a short period of time.
The text is an extension of the class notes. Overall, the content is easy to understand although some materials are not explained in detail.
The text seems consistent.
The modularity of the text is quite well. The sections of the book are mostly independent to each other.
The topics in the text are presented in a fairly, organized way.
There are no significant interface issues.
The text seems almost free of grammatical errors.
The text covers differential equations for engineering students. The book does not have any cultural issues.
This is a well-written, well-organized text that was initiated from the class notes. This text can be used as a one-semester first course on differential equations, especially for engineering students. This text could be used as a stand-alone textbook. But students would read this text as well as a comprehensive textbook, such as “Edwards and Penney, Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems: Computing and Modeling” or “Boyce and DiPrima, Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems” to understand the concepts clearly.
