Ordinary Differential Equations and Linear Algebra
A Systems Approach

Date Published: February 2016
format: Paperback
isbn: 9781611974089

Description

Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and linear algebra are taught in foundational post-calculus mathematics courses in the sciences. This text will help students master both subject areas. Linear algebra is systematically developed first, with an eye towards solving linear systems of ODEs, and over fifteen distinct applications of the theory are explored, including lead poisoning, SIR models and digital filters, not typically seen in textbooks at this level. A large emphasis is also placed on mathematical modeling, with the group projects at the end of each chapter allowing students to fully explore the interaction between the modeling of a system, the solution of the model, and the resulting physical description. The seamless transition between linear algebra and ODEs contained within this one text makes this a valuable resource for students who have had one year of calculus and are taking a first class in ODEs.

Discovering Group Theory:
A Transition to Advanced Mathematics

December 27, 2016
Textbook - 220 Pages - 75 B/W Illustrations
ISBN 9781138030169
Series: Textbooks in Mathematics

Features

Full proofs are included
Focus on deduction

Summary

This book presents group theory to students taking a course to transition to advanced mathematics. The goal is to prepare these students for higher level mathematical study, including advanced algebra courses. The book covers the usual material which is found in a first course on groups. The first three chapters are preliminary. Chapter 4 establishes a number of results about integers which will be used freely in the remainder of the book. The book gives a number of examples of groups and subgroups, including permutation groups, dihedral groups and groups of residue classes. The book goes on to study cosets and finishes with the first isomorphism theorem.

Linear and Complex Analysis for Applications

December 29, 2016
Textbook - 264 Pages
ISBN 9781498756105
Series: Advances in Applied Mathematics

Features

Reviews linear alebra, differential equations and mutlivariable calculus
Offers complete course in Complex Analysis
Unifying theme: linearity and related spectral methods.
Introduces Hilbert Space
Applications support the theory

Summary

This book develops an understanding of sophisticated tools by using them. Complex variable theory is developed. The first three chapters and selected topics make a nice course. This course should appeal to faculty who want an integrated treatment of linear algebra and complex analysis, including applications and also reviewing vector analysis. Students can continue with the Hilbert space chapter and conclude with probability and quantum mechanics. The first five chapters together with the last section of Chapter 7 make an applied complex variables course. Such a course would be ideal for many graduate students.
