Below are the chapters of the solution manual for Ordinary Differential Equations: An Introduction to the Fundamentals, published by CRC Press. (More precisely, below are the links to pdf files for the chapters.)
Some General Comments and Warnings:
1) These solutions should be used only as a last resort! Try doing the work yourself, first, using what is in the text as a guide. If you need help, then see your instructor or go to any math tutoring service available to you. Only if all else fails should you peek at the solutions here.
2) Keep in mind that there may be several ways to answer a single problem. What is given here is only one possible way to derive each correct answer.
3) Beware of tpyos and dumb mistookes! Much of what's below was written hastily and at odd hours, and was not adequately proofread. If you find what you believe to be an error in any of these solutions, please let the author know (see below). It would be appreciated if you included "DE Text Solutions" in the subject line of your email.
4) Also feel free to send the author any other comments about this webpage or this text.
