Looking for college level Differential Equation book with loads of difficult problems. Something like GN Berman. I am looking for difficulty like something irodov or Morin is to Physics

    Does this answer your question? Best Book For Differential Equations? – José Carlos Santos Sep 18 '22 at 10:13

    Maybe A Book of Problems in Ordinary Differential Equations by Krasnov/Kiselyov/Makarenko [translation of 1978 3rd Russian edition, MIR Publishers, 1981, 332 pages]. This book has a lot of worked examples, 967 problems for the reader (about 95% have answers on pp. 293-326). I wasn't able to find a copy online (only searched briefly, mostly at archive.org). For some reason I have 2 identical hardback print (essentially new) copies of the 1983 2nd printing -- I used to order by postal mail MIR books back in the early-mid 1980s, and I must have accidentally ordered a copy of this book twice. – Dave L.

    @Moo: I didn't see your comment until I finished writing/posting my previous comment, but interestingly I notice that at the MSE question you cited I described the same Krasnov/Kiselyov/Makarenko book. It also appears that I overstated there when I said all the problems have answers. There are a few (my guess is about 5% of the problems) that do not have answers. – Dave L.

  • @DaveL.Renfro: No problem! Amazing how hard it is to find that wonderful book! – Moo Sep 18 '22 at 10:59

    @Moo: I suppose I tried looking for a copy online when I wrote the other comment several years ago, but when I was writing my first comment here I tried searching for the book and couldn't find it. I originally mentioned how I was surprised at not finding it since so many MIR books are at archive.org and because I have 2 print copies of it (thus I would guess that it is probably not an especially rare or valuable book), but I exceeded the maximum comment character length, so I left that part out in my first comment here. – Dave L.
