- timeforcomputer 3y agoAlso not to mention that he has written many great textbooks on top of his research work. I would recommend anyone in an intro or second mostly-methods-based DE course to read his Ordinary Differential Equations. He doesn't entirely avoid useful methods (as I recall) but the approach was extremely different to what I had seen before, but so natural (pointing at geometry and topology, immediately discussing vector fields and a nice notation for flows in the beginning chapter).
