#2Tangental anecdote: Every time I see Diff EQ mentioned the first thing that pops into my head is the number 11. That's the score of my first, last, and only Diff EQ test. 11%.

#3Why is this on top of HN? There are so many websites teaching introductions to differential equations. Is there something interesting about this one in particular?

#4DiffEq seemed like black magic to me when I took it as a freshman in college. They basically just taught us the recipe bag for solving equations in different shapes, but very little insight.
When I started a gamified music discovery company, I actually ended up using DiffEq to define a scoring algorithm that would produce continuously varying point values based on time series input data. I had to relearn how to do it, but the concepts made far more sense with a real application.

Paul’s Online Notes are a pretty well-known calculus and differential equations reference. IMO they’re pretty decent.

Yeah, it's relatively dry material which is hard to grasp without the context of why we need it and how it can be applied in the real world. While the intro is good, it still has the same problem - just shows (in a good way) "some math".

#7Does anyone know any website similar for advanced linear algebra and probability with practice problems explained with detailed solutions step by step? I know there exists other great textbook like Strang's, but I often find textbook based learning resources lacking because of lack of detailed solutions.

Paul's Online Notes is my childhood. There's something nostalgic about seeing this submission.

They're pretty much the best calc notes I've seen, was very useful a few years ago

#10Wow, it's been a while. Does anyone actually use this stuff after college???
