Synopsis

Jordan and Smith ( mathematics, Keele U.) emphasize applications and methods rather than proofs in this text of mathematical methods for students in undergraduate engineering and science courses. The third edition has been revised with a new preface, rewritten and expanded chapters, and improved layout. Brief modular chapters include more than 500 worked examples, making the book useful as a quick reference. Sections include differentiation, complex numbers, matrix algebra and vectors, integration and differential equations, transforms and Fourier series, multivariable calculus, discrete mathematics, and probability and statistics.
