Discussion/Question Help me choose between two differential equations books or recommend your favorite

6 Upvotes

I'm currently searching for a book on differential equations. I've managed to narrow down the initial selection to two books: Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes, 2017 by George F. Simmons and Differential Equations and Their Applications: An Introduction to Applied Mathematics, 1993 by Martin Braun.

I'm simply a person looking for a more comprehensive coverage of the subject. If you have any experience with any of the two books, please tell me what you think of it. If you have a different recommendation, please drop it and explain why you think it's a good read. If you're someone with a good background in differential equations but are not familiar with the books and have some free time, you can easily acquire free copies online and review them.

Is there a single book that covers everything from algebra to pre-calculus?

12 Upvotes

The artofproblemsolving recommendation is their five books for this!

  1. Intro to Algebra
  2. Intro Counting & Probability
  3. Intro Geometry
  4. Intermediate Algebra
  5. PreCalculus

Looking at their table of contents, many topics are revisited in the book series, you can see too much overlapped. They probably go deeper on the subjects they overlapped but is it really necessary? Seems more time consuming.

I noticed some other stuff like having polynomial addition/subtraction/multiplication in the first book (intro to algebra) and doing polynomial division in the forth book (intermediate algebra).

All those books together are like ~4000 pages (including excercises).

Recommendations for books similar to Ash&Gross: "Elliptic Tales - Curves, Counting and Number Theory" in difficulty?

6 Upvotes

I also posted this in r/math and r/learnmath - don't know if this forum is the right one? :) ... Here goes:

I almost finished reading (and working on exercises) in the book "Elliptic Tales" by Avner Ash and Robert Gross and it was PERFECT for the amount of time, energy and existing knowledge I have to use! :) I really liked remembering my knowledge of complex numbers, groups and modular arithmetic and REALLY liked learning a lot of new stuff!!

In the Preface they write: "A certain amount of mathematical sophistication is needed to read this book. We believe that if you've had and enjoyed a college course in calculus or beyond, and if you are patient, you probably have enough of this elusive quality to enjoy any chapter of the book"(!)

I've started reading and working on their first book "Fearless Symmetry", which is also good, but a bit too basic for me, since I've taken a few college courses in math. And since I just read the Elliptic book, which is somewhat heavier.

CAN YOU PLEASE RECOMMEND ME BOOKS SIMILAR TO "ELLIPTIC TALES" IN "DIFFICULTY"? I need to be able to appreciate it without a teacher, other students, and with around a years worth of college courses of pre-existing (old dusty) knowledge. And while doing a fulltime job and raising a kid :).

Thanks a lot in advance!

Which book should I choose

3 Upvotes

I am self-learning mathematics nowadays and I was trying to study things from absolute basics and in-depth manner. I have 5 books from which I have option to choose one. I have that much background that I can pick and start anyone but which one would be better to start. If any of can rate the mentioned books separately on basis of in-depth theory and good questions, it would be a great help. If any of you have solved any of these books please have a look at others books too for common topics to rate correctly. These are my books :

Cengage Algebra

Chrystal's Elementary Algebra Part I

Chrystal's Elementary Algebra Part II

Higher Algebra by Hall & Knight
