Publisher's Synopsis
Unlike many engineering mathematics books, the new edition of this comprehensive applications-oriented book uses computer programs in almost every chapter to demonstrate the mathematical concepts under discussion. Designed for engineering students as well as practicing engineers and scientists, the book has hundreds of examples with in-text solutions. In terms of content, it covers the entire sequence of mathematical topics needed by the majority of university programs, including ODE, PDE, complex variables, probability/statistics, and numerical methods. The authors demonstrate how the mathematical concepts will be used in practical applications such as Fractals, Robotics, Circuits, Membrane simulation, Collision Detection, Ray Tracing, Signal Processing, and more. A CD-ROM with the source code for the in-text computer programs (written in C) includes calculation routines and simulations.
