Synopsis

Schaum's Interactive Outlines... useful and practical electronic books providing students, educators, and professionals with the course content of the world famous Schaum's Outline Series together with the interactivity and ease of use of Mathcad, the leading technical calculation software. Designed especially for students and educators, but also of interest to a variety of professionals, 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 major advantage of the Interactive Outline is its use of LIVE MATH. Every number, formula, and graph is interactive. Users can change the starting parameters of a problem and watch as new output graphs are calculated before their eyes. They can change any equation and immediately see the effect of the numerical calculations on the solution. Each adapted solved problem in effect thus becomes a worksheet which can be modified to solve dozens of related problems.
