I'd like to know if there are any good online books, lecture notes, videos, tutorials, or similar that are free to the public (on differential equations). Suggestions are welcome!

    I have converted the question to [community wiki](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/11740/what-are-community-wiki-posts/11741#11741), as it's asking for a big list and there is no single right answer.2011-09-07

    @Matt: What's your background? Are you talking about ODE or PED, or both? More information may be helpful for people to answer you questions.2011-09-07

    My background is computer science. I took a class on ODEs, but it's been awhile. I'd like to start with ODEs, but really anything is good at this point.2011-09-07

Paul's online notes has a section on Differential equations:

http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/DE/DE.aspx.

I have not personally read them, but the rest of his notes are helpful and easy to read.
