What are good books on differential equations for novices?

The book I used in college, and still use when needed, is A First Course in Differential Equations, by Dennis Zill. It's very clearly written with tons of problems and examples.

The book Mathematics From the Birth of Numbers, by Jan Gullberg, is a cool book in general and also has a short and sweet introduction to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) at the end. He derives the general theories of ODEs pretty much entirely through the use of applications.

Gradshteyn and Ryzhik's Table of Integrals, Series, and Products, which is a must-own book for mathematicians and scientists anyways, also has a rather short, but surprisingly detailed section on ODEs toward the end. I wouldn't recommend this for a novice, but it's a great reference to have once you've become familiar with differential equations.

Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences, by Mary Boas, is a classic text covering many topics, including ODEs and PDEs (partial differential equations). I'd get this book simply for the immense amount of very useful topics it introduces in all the fields of mathematics, including the calculus of variations, tensor analysis, and functional analysis.

Eventually, you'll need or want to learn about PDEs, and the most intuitive and comprehensible book I've seen regarding them is Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers, by Stanley Farlow. It's almost (if such a thing can be said about a rigorous math book) entertaining.

What is a quote from the book Brisingr that typifies the character Eragon?

Eragon--a fifteen year old farm boy-- is shocked when a polished blue stone appears before him in the range of mountains known as the spine. Nothing is known of Eragon's father. (who is later to be reveled to be Morzan by his half-brother Murtagh. Even later, however, it is reveled that his actual father is Brom) His mother, Selena has not been seen since Eragon's birth, since she died shortly after Eragon's birth. That's technically not a quote from Brisingr, but does describe Eragon's earlier life. Perhaps you should try actually looking into the depths of the book?

What does it mean in Hugo cabret when it says but another story begins because stories lead to other stories and this one leads all the way to the moon?

"But another story begins because stories lead to other stories and this one leads all the way to the moon."

Well, it would make some sense if you read and comprehended the whole book (which is awesome, I still remember reading it like 500 times in 5th grade). Trying to put this into the best wording I can, It says: "all stories lead to other stories, and this one will bring you all the way to the truth behind Meiles"

so "all stories lead to other stories" like, Hugo, he had a story, and it intertwined with the store owner of that toy shop in the train station. His story lead to finding out the truth about Meiles and recovering many films of his. But if you think about it, have you ever read a story and wonder 'I wonder what happens to this character later' or 'I want to know the back story on them'. Kind of like that?

The part that says "and this one leads us all the way to the moon." is talking about a movie that Melies made called "a man in the moon." It is a real movie, and it is one of his most famous. It is a story to Melies because it was one of his films, but he had to burn his sets and melt his film down, so he thought that none of them survived and that killed him. The movies were his life. When he was younger he built an automaton, or a robot of sorts that drew a picture. Hugo's dad found it and brought it home for Hugo and him to fix up. Hugo thinks that is holds a special message from his father and works hard at fixing it after his parents die and he is forced to live with his uncle in the walls of the train station.

When he finally fixes the automaton, it draws an still (or image) from the movie "A man in the moon" where a rocket going to the moon ends up landing in the man on the moons eye. Hugo remembers his father talking about this movie, it was the first one that his father had ever seen and it amazed him. So, their stories intertwine, see? and after Hugo finds him and makes peace with him (he wasn't thought highly by Mr. Melies previously) they team up with a man who helps them find other movies that were not destroyed and restore them. The story that spirels from the two stories here, is one of Hugo having a home (they took him in. He was an orphan anyway) and Melies being able to be happy again, not having to live in the tormented world of thinking that his life's work was destroyed.
