This text is known for its outstanding problem material, accurate and thorough theoretical foundation, easy-to-follow examples, and self-contained parts for teaching flexibility. Major changes in this edition include overall simplification of various sections to provide a more leisurely approach, extensively revised problem sets, and reorganized chapters on differential equations and linear algebra. The text also has a modern coverage of numerical methods, graphs and optimization, and probability and statistics. Using this text students will gain a clear perception of what applied mathematics is all about through three phases of solving problems: modelling, solving and interpreting.
