I'm taking differential equations next semester and I started to watch lectures on it so I can prepare myself. The problem is that I have no source of practice problems and I'm not really learning as much as I'd like. I went to my local library and they had a pitiful selection of math books and there was nothing about differential equations there.
Does anyone know some good places to find diff eq practice problems?

try http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-03sc-differential-equations-fall-2011/
introductory ODEs is a bullshit class by the way, only thing worth learning is the laplace transform

If you want help with your homework, go to /wsr/ - Worksafe Requests
If you guys spent as much time trying to take over /wsr/ as you do here, you might be happy.

Who the fuck is this shitlord spamming the shit out of every thread without even reading them?

Depends on your major I guess. Depends on your major. Even at that, the Laplace Transform is stupid easy.

here is a book

If you're in a differential equations course you're going to a university, I assume.
Why can't you get a textbook from your university library?
Dude good fucking luck.
I took Diff Eq this past semester. Material wasn't difficult but I didn't have a good professor and couldn't find a good book. Consequently I spent hours studying different books.
Differential Equations by Stroud will help you with the computations and steps, but not with the theory. It's honestly a great book.
Otherwise Jiri Lebl's DE was decent. Especially the section on Non-Linear Systems. The PDF of it is free online.
Stay the fuck away from Boyce and Diprima. It has some decent parts, but it's mostly shit.
How is Howard Anton for linear algebra? Anyone? Anybody? Hello?
Hi?

Schaum's outline for diffeq has loads of questions.
>>8114132
I wouldn't worry about it bro it is a very simple class. Nothing you should really have to pre-prepare for.

Schaum's Outline Series....
For just $12 or so you will get hundreds of practice problems with answers.

all these have full online ode courses if you need extra help
unfortunately diff. eqs are mostly plug and chug. I am glad I took that course while back because I doubt I could get through so much boring calculations.

This. Pick up the recommended text for the course. OP is retarded
Unless you're in a l33t uni, it's going to be a gauntlet of algebra consisting of just factoring and determinants. It's boring as fuck.
Pick up a schaum's outline and do all the problems. Just bang them out and you'll do fine.
