Synopsis

Schaum's Interactive Outline... useful and practical Electronic Books providing students, educators and professionals with the course content of the world famous Schaum's Outline Series together with Interactivity and ease of use of Mathcad, the leading technical calculation software. Designed for students and educators, but also of interest to professional scientists and engineers, each Interactive Outline uses Mathcad to present and solve approximately 100 problems from the printed Schaum's Outline. In Addition to providing a wealth of solved problems, the Interactive Outline gives helpful summaries of key theoretical points, hyperlinked cross-references, and an electronic search feature, making it easy to find related topics. The big advantage of the Interactive Outline is its use of Live Math. Every number, formula and graph is interactive. You can change the starting parameters of a problem and watch as new outputs graphs are calculated before your eyes. You can change any equation and immediately see the effect of the numerical calculation on the solution. Each adapted solved problem becomes a worksheet which can be modified to solve dozens of related problems.
