  • Darci Taylor's 2250 problems 2008
    Problem details with answers F2008. Chapters 1 to 10, Edwards-Penney, Differential Equations and Linear Algebra, selected problems. Chapters 3, 4 of this book are linear algebra. The other chapters somewhat match the 2280 book, with permutations of chapter numbers. In particular, 2250 Ch5 == 2280 Ch3, 2250 Ch7 == 2280 Ch4+Ch5, 2250 Ch10 == 2280 Ch7, 2250 Ch9 == 2280 Ch6. At Amazon.com, you can find a table of contents for the two books, then resolve the matches yourself.
