Twenty-eight chapters comprise this seventh edition, which uses computer programs and computer-generated images to demonstrate all the mathematical topics required in major undergraduate engineering programs. Concepts in geometry, matrices, integrals, ODE, vector calculus, probability/statistics, and other topics are presented in examples, exercises and self-tests, and program segments. Strategies in this book apply to Fractals, Robotics, Circuits, Membrane Simulation, and Ray Tracing, among other tasks. The included CD-ROM contains a source code for the in-text computer programs (written in C). Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
