Summary

The content and character of mathematics needed in applications are changing rapidly. Introduces students of engineering, physics, mathematics and computer science to those areas that are vital to address practical problems. The Seventh Edition offers a self-contained treatment of ordinary differential equations, linear algebra, vector calculus, fourier analysis and partial differential equations, complex analysis, numerical methods, optimization and graphs, probability and statistics. New in this edition are: many sections rewritten to increase readability; problems have been revised and more closely related to examples; instructors manual quadrupled in content; improved balance between applications, algorithmic ideas and theory; reorganized differential equations and linear algebra sections; added and improved examples throughout.
