Advanced Engineering Mathematics

Abstract

This market leading text is known for its comprehensive coverage, careful and correct mathematics, outstanding exercises and self contained subject matter parts for maximum flexibility.New to This Edition: New problem sets. Modern engineering mathematics is mostly teamwork. It usually combines analytic work in the process of modeling and the use of computer algebra and numerics in the process of solution, followed by critical evaluation of results. Our problems- some straightforward, some more challenging, some "thinking problems" not accessible by a CAS, some open-ended- reflect this modern situation. Computer Experiments , using the computer as an instrument of "experimental mathematics" for exploration and research. These are mostly open-ended experiments, demonstrating the use of computers in experimentally finding results, which may be provable afterward or may be valuable heuristic qualitative guidelines to the engineer, in particular in complicated problems. More on modeling and selecting methods, tasks that usually cannot be automated. Many sections were rewritten in a more detailed fashion, to make it a simpler book. This also resulted in a better balance between theory and applications. Student Solutions Manual and Study Guide enlarged, upon explicit requests of the users. This manual contains worked-out solutions to carefully selected odd-numbered problems as well as general comments and hints on studying the text and working further problems. WileyPLUS, provides online algorithmically generated homework, ebook, and course management features that cannot be not found with any other engineering mathematics text.Hallmark Features: Simplicity of examples, to make the book teachable- why choose complicated examples when simple ones are as instructive or even better? Independence of chapters, to provide flexibility in tailoring courses to special needs. Self-contained presentation, except for a few clearly marked places where a proof would exceed the level of the book and a reference is given instead. Modern Standard Notation, to help students with other courses, modern books, and mathematical and engineering journals.
