Since its original publication in 1969, Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists has built a solid foundation in mathematics for legions of undergraduate science and engineering students. It continues to do so, but as the influence of computers has grown and syllabi have evolved, once again the time has come for a new edition. Thoroughly rev

Klappentext
The classic Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists covers in detail all mathematical requirements common to first year engineering students of every discipline. It includes numerous illustrative worked examples and extensive problem sets at the end of each chapter, with answers to odd-numbered questions provided at the end of the book. In this sixth edition, the level of rigor has been lowered to cater to the needs of incoming engineering students. Students are encouraged to make use of computer algebra packages, primarily MAPLE and MATLAB. The author has included a new chapter on double integrals, and incorporated many new applications and examples throughout.
