By  Jiří Lebl
Summary
Notes on Diffy Qs: Differential Equations for Engineers by Jiří Lebl is a free, beginner-friendly textbook that introduces ordinary differential equations with a strong emphasis on understanding concepts rather than simply memorizing solution techniques. Written for students who have completed basic calculus, it combines clear explanations with practical examples drawn from engineering, physics, and other scientific fields. 
The book covers the essential topics of a first differential equations course, including first- and second-order equations, systems of differential equations, Laplace transforms, power series, Fourier methods, and an introduction to partial differential equations. 
Throughout the text, mathematical theory is balanced with real-world applications, helping readers see why differential equations are such powerful tools for modeling natural phenomena. Numerous worked examples, exercises, and intuitive explanations make the material approachable for self-study as well as classroom use. As an open educational resource, the book is freely available online and has been widely adopted by instructors seeking an accessible yet comprehensive introduction to differential equations.

Ordinary Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems
Gerald Teschl

Summary  This book provides an introduction to ordinary differential equations and dynamical systems. We start with some simple examples of explicitly solvable equations. Then we prove the fundamental results concerning the initial value problem: existence, uniqueness, extensibility, dependence on initial conditions. Furthermore we consider linear equations, the Floquet theorem, and the autonomous linear flow.
Then we establish the Frobenius method for linear equations in the complex domain and investigate Sturm-Liouville type boundary value problems including oscillation theory.
Next we introduce the concept of a dynamical system and discuss stability including the stable manifold and the Hartman-Grobman theorem for both continuous and discrete systems.
We prove the Poincare-Bendixson theorem and investigate several examples of planar systems from classical mechanics, ecology, and electrical engineering. Moreover, attractors, Hamiltonian systems, the KAM theorem, and periodic solutions are discussed as well.
Finally, there is an introduction to chaos. Beginning with the basics for iterated interval maps and ending with the Smale-Birkhoff theorem and the Melnikov method for homoclinic orbits.

by Marcus Pivato

Summary  This is a textbook for an introductory course on linear partial differential equations and initial/boundary value problems. It also provides a mathematically rigorous introduction to basic Fourier analysis, which is the main tool used to solve linear PDEs in Cartesian coordinates. Finally, it introduces basic functional analysis. This is necessary to rigorously characterize the convergence of Fourier series, and also to discuss eigenfunctions for linear differential operators.
