Summary

Summary

* For math majors rather than engineering majors..* New survey of methods and software sections included in chapters 2-12 to cover the latest technology in the field..* Outstanding examples relate tothe routine exercises in the text so students can see the similarities..* Exercises are varied to include basic drill, interesting applicaitons, and deeper theoretical extensions.
