hey guys
i am now taking the Differential Equations and Linear Algebra class, and we are using the book written by Edwards Penney. it is the 2nd edition. i feel llike this book is disorganized and doesn't explain things very well at all. anybody use the same book? can you guys give me some suggestions about how to study differential equations effectively. I feel so bad about this topic. i mean i am really good at math. i got As since i was in the middle school. i took calc1 and 2, they were easy. i am sure i can get an A for this class too because i am just a good test taker. however, i think the differential equation is so abstract. i can't even use my imagination when i am trying to understand the stuff.
i went to office hour and ask my professor a coupld questions, but he didnt explain to me at all. he was like oh, you don't need to know it, it is beyond the topic and you won't understand. i was like wtf, if u don't explain to me, how do u know i won't understand it.
BTW, i even found some mistakes in the book.
please just give me some suggestions about this topic.
