In the five previous editions of Advanced Engineering Mathematics with MATLAB(R), the author presented a text firmly grounded in mathematics that engineers and scientists must understand and know how to use. Tapping into decades of teaching at the US Navy Academy and the US Military Academy and serving for twenty-five years at (NASA) Goddard Space Flight, he combines teaching and practical experience that is rare among authors of advanced engineering mathematics books.This edition continues to refine a smaller, easier to read, and useful version of this classic textbook. While competing textbooks continue to grow, the book presents a slimmer, more practical option to align with the expectations of today's students.The new edition of the author's classic textbook continues on a path to creating the best possible learning resource for instructors and students alike. Through extensive class testing over five previous editions, including the author's current course at the US Naval Academy, the book has been steadily improved.The primary mission of this edition is to dramatically increase the quality and quantity of examples and problems, especially in the chapters on differential equations and Laplace transforms. The chapters on differential equations, linear algebra, Fourier series, and Laplace transforms have seen the greatest changes. Of course, this edition continues to offer a wealth of examples and applications from scientific and engineering literature, a highlight of previous editions.MATLAB(R) remains central to the presentation and is employed to reinforce the concepts that are taught. Worked solutions are given in the back of the book. An Instructor's Solutions Manual is also available.
