The most comprehensive book on uveitis
There are shorter and easier books to read than this one. The problem is after reading them you still know very little about uveitis. Foster's book is the most comprehensive review on uveitis today. It should be a required reading for all ophthalmologists planning to specilalize in retina and uveitis. I bought this book on Amazon 3 years ago and come back to it with pleasure every time finding it more useful and practical than any other uveitis literature I have.

A sweet story with excellent pictures
My son picked this up at the library tonight and we HAD to read it before bed.All three kids crowded around and sat quietly for the whole book.I saw them looking through it many times before they went to bed.

The illustrations are excellent.All the kids commented on how much they liked them and I was equally impressed.The story was sweet and appropriate for our family (the oldest can't slow down either!)I know that this will open many talks about slowing down to see the details we miss when we run too fast.

As the 6-year-old was going to bed he pointed to the picture of the cheetah and said, "I'm going to be that guy."That's his highest compliment to a book - wanting to become one of the characters.

Read this book to any child who runs fast or moves slowly.Both will benefit from the lessons taught here.

Engaging Story, Exuberant Art!

Product Description
The new kid in school, Octavius Bloom, is a genuine detective and he's looking for a mystery to solve. It looks like he came to the right place!

"On Crabapple Street around the bend, in back of the house near the dark DEAD END, stuffed up inside of a rickety shed is the source of a horrible, terrible dread. Something lives there. But what? No one knows. So it's one place in town where no kid ever goes."

The other kids in class tell Octavius about the scary things they believe are in the shed behind Priscilla O'Moore's house. And Octavius takes the case. Then, as Octavius investigates, he gets the scare of a lifetime. Can Octavius keep his cool or will the House of Doom claim him as its victim? ... Read more

The ABSOLUTE WORST Math text I've ever come across!!!
As most other reviewers have pointed out, this book is AS BAD AS IT GETS. Most chapters have very simple (or nonexistent) examples, and the explanations, theorems and proofs are presented in an extremely poor and confusing fashion. I'm a "self-study" kind of person, and am very good at Math (got high As in Calc I, II and III - multivariable). So, as some others seem to insinuate on here, I'm not a "disenchanted" student looking for a free ride. I would love to get into the detail of things, but if the book doesn't explain anything properly, how the hell are you supposed to learn the material??? Besides, the more difficult and complicated the material, the more intricately and thoroughly it should be explained. This book simply glosses over things and leaves everything else to your imagination. Like some said earlier, this book should be burned and banned from publication!!!

An Excellent Beginners Book.
This book is excellent.I'm shocked at the low ratings, BUT I think I can explain why.This is one of the best introductory books out there.I used it in my first class as an engineering student before I switched over to a mathematics major.Classes for math majors don't normally use this book because it is too elementary.But for non-math majors (engineering, chemistry, physics, ...) this is the first book of choice.Unfortunately, these majors are also full of people in the early years who won't like differential equations.Therefore, this book gets a lot of negative attention from disenchanted students.I love differential equations, but many people who see themselves as good in math get an unexpected bad grade in this class--they can't accept that and instead fault the book or the teacher.I admit, differential equations seemed to me at first to have too much clever guessing, no single structured methodology with which to apply to every differential equation, and most annoying is that most differential equations can't be solved in closed form anyway.This situation is not the fault of the book.Even today there are folks getting PhD's by working on unsolved differential equations.

For those who want more help, I believe in having lots of practice problems.So, in addition to this book, get the "Schaum's Outline of Differential Equations" by Bronson (ISBN: 0070080194) for slightly more than $10 (cheap).Also, I believe in reading more than one source simultaneously, so get "Ordinary Differential Equations" by Tenenbaum and Pollard (ISBN:0486649407) (Also cheap), and read it along with Rabenstein's book.Tenenbaum's book might be just as good or better as Rabenstein's book, so it might be wise for the instructor to use Tenenbaum's book instead of Rabenstein's book and help the student save some money.But I suspect Rabenstein's book is still more elementary in treatment.

Not worth your money.
This book doesn't explain s***! It's the worse math book out there. To many theorems and not to many problems. Look for another ODE & Linear Algebra book if you can.

I disagree with the other reviewers....
I think the other reviewers all looked at this book from the perspective of an engineering major who wasn't interested in learning the topics but just wanted to get through a required course without having to put in the effort to understand the material. This book does an excellent job of tying together the two topics at hand. Yes, like any good math book, there are lots of proofs. Of course, I'm reading this from the perspective of a graduate student in geochemistry with a bachelors degree in math from several years ago. It's a great reference/review book for me. So, I'd just like to counter the other reviewers by saying if you're looking for a book with a good concise theory based introduction to Differential Equations and Linear Algebra, this is the best one I've seen.
One final note -- I think this web form is screwy, I can't correct the repeated sentence above...

just about worst math book i have used
I used this for a introductory differential equations course. All the reviewers are dead on. This book will make you hate math with a passion such as you have never known. ... Read more

Product Description
Maple is a powerful software tool for mathematical computations and visualization. The goal of this manual is to introduce Maple to students who are taking first year calculus. As such, Maple is a tool to solve problems that are too difficult to solve by hand. In addition, students will improve their understanding of the concepts of calculus. The order of the material is organized by computational topic and should be suitable for most texts on Single Variable calculus. ... Read more
