1.0 out of 5 stars Point Less, February 9, 2009

By	Me "Math" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Student's Solutions Manual to accompany Differential Equations: Theory, Technique and Practice (Paperback)

This solutions manual is point less. It's just like look for answer in the back of your book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pointless, October 18, 2007

By	Theodore Labarba (Long Beach, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This text is expensive and pointless. While it is obviously designed for upper division courses, it lacks concrete examples and a clear thought pattern. Sections do not seem to connect in a comfortable way and they should be much longer. The odd-numbered solutions pages at the end are a joke; most say "proof not shown." Do not buy.
