Modern Engineering Mathematics: WITH "Mathworks:MATLAB Sim SV" AND "MATLAB and Simulink Student Version Release 2009A"

A rigorous, applications-focused introduction to the field of Engineering Mathematics. Suitable for a first year course in the subject area, the book presents the key mathematical concepts that engineers will be expected to know. The applications focus allows the student to see the mathematics in action and helps to contextualise what they are actually learning. As such, it is also well suited to maths courses within the physical sciences and applied mathematics. Incorporates many exercises throughout the chapters so students can reinforce their learning. This edition will be accompanied by online bridging chapters refresher units in core subjects to bring students up to speed with what they'll need to know before taking the engineering mathematics course. This book is packaged with MATLAB(r), a high-level language and interactive environment that lets students focus on their course work and applications, rather than on programming details. It enables students to solve many numerical problems in a fraction of the time it takes to write a program in a lower-level language such as Java , C, C++, or Fortran. You can also use MATLAB to analyze and visualize data using automation capabilities, thereby avoiding the manual repetition common with other products. The MATLAB in Student Version provides all the features and capabilities of the professional version of MATLAB software, with no limitations. There are a few small differences between the Student Version interface and the professional version of MATLAB.
