Who /BoyceAndDiPrima/ here?
Stewart here
is this one any good or should i get a different one? taking my first analysis next semester
>>8386455
Is it good though? I was recommended this book for my DE course, but it never seems to get mentioned in textbook threads, and I am yet to find an electronic copy
I used the Boyce & DiPrima book when I took diff eq last semester.

>book used at Harvard
>shitty
pick one retard
>>8386658
The book is OK, I have a copy if you're interested. Post a email
>>8386677
I would appreciate a cop; here is a throwaway: [email protected]
Have you used any other DE books/how does it compare to others?
>>8386455
I rate this book a 5/10
It was alright
>>8386455
Better book coming through
>>8386725
Sent; book was OK, best off learning from multiple sources.
>>8386652
Someone has references to this material?
someone recommend me a good source on abelian varieties
>not using ODE by William A. Adkins and Mark G. Davidson
topkek!
>>8386652
Pugh is the best analysis book, but I've spent hours filling in holes in his proofs.
So I recommend supplementing his text with Rudin or Tao's books.

Have you checked the references on the nLab page for abelian varieties? I heard Hartsthorne is good, but I don't know whether he goes over abelian varieties or not.

Checking them out, Mumford might be a solid option. I was just hoping to avoid Milne and Lang mostly/especially wondering if there were any nice 'more modern' sources
>>8387277
For modern sources, nLab should have the best references. They always seem to try to find the most "progressive" work to base things off of. Sorry I can't offer any specific titles really; I'm still trying to find my own rhythm with algebraic geometry. Good luck anon!
