Advanced Engineering Mathematics

By Dennis G. Zill, Michael R. Cullen, Warren S. Wright

Book Overview

Modern and comprehensive, the new sixth edition of award-winning author, Dennis G. Zill (TM)s Advanced Engineering Mathematics is a compendium of topics that are most often covered in courses in engineering mathematics, and is extremely flexible to meet the unique needs of courses ranging from ordinary differential equations, to vector calculus, to partial differential equations. A key strength of this best-selling text is the author (TM)s emphasis on differential equations as mathematical models, discussing the constructs and pitfalls of each. An accessible writing style and robust pedagogical aids guide students through difficult concepts with thoughtful explanations, clear examples, interesting applications, and contributed project problems.

Good book

The book was everything I ever hoped for in a book. It fulfilled all of my textbook needs for differential equations. It even has numbers inside!!! The book arrived in near pristine condition and will remain so because of its importance in my academic endeavors.

Advanced Engineering Mathematics (Prindle, Weber & Schmidt Series in Mathematics)

Advanced Engineering Mathematics As an electrical engineering student, this book has helped wonders. If you are studying Operational Calculus or any type of advanced continuous mathematics, this is the book that is nice to have for a quick reference. This book has many transforms types (Laplace, Fourier, Z-transform), differential equations, and matrices calculations. It also has vector calculus in this book which might be handy for mechanical engineers.

Great Text

This was a required course text for a junior-level math course in "Engineering Math" that I took as an undergrad. It has since proved an invaluable resource, both in later mathematics courses and in engineering classes/research (I'm now in my first year of grad school.) I have both used it as a review and as a reference in picking up new material -- it has a pretty good variety of useful math in it (everything from differential equations to vector calculus to basic complex analysis.) Although it doesn't go very "deep" into any one thing, it has enough in there to be useful for an engineer needing a basic understanding of each subject. If you're looking for a good, broad mathematical reference book, this one should fit the bill. I've had a number of people try to steal my copy over the past few years (by "borrowing" it indefinitely), so I know that others out there have found it useful, as well.
