This book is designed for those portions of the market that are either price sensitive or those who are looking for a more brief text than they've been using. It has all of the breadth of the original text but with less depth. The quantitative reasoning flavor of the original text, Using and Understanding Mathematics, has been retained and will continue to be a major selling feature of this text.
This text bridges the gap between computational calculus and higher-level, proof-based mathematics. Beginning with logic, set theory, and proof techniques, it progresses through relations, functions, cardinality, and an introduction to real number completeness and group theory. Designed for students preparing for advanced courses, it emphasizes precise mathematical reasoning, structured proofs,…
This text offers an intuitive and application-focused introduction to finite mathematics and applied calculus, tailored for students in business, economics, life sciences, and social sciences. Covering algebra, functions, systems of equations and matrices, linear programming, probability, data modeling, and introductory calculus, the fourth edition integrates practical examples, technology tool…
This textbook provides an accessible introduction to ordinary differential equations (ODEs), emphasizing both theory and practical modeling. It covers first-order and higher-order equations, systems of differential equations, Laplace transforms, and numerical methods. With clear explanations, real-world applications, and step-by-step examples, it helps students build both conceptual understandi…
Intended for a course that blends intermediate and college algebra topics written at an intermediate algebra level, the goal of this text is to provide a sound transition between elementary algebra and more advanced courses in mathematics. It is written for students with differing backgrounds and abilities. An average or below-average student will experience success and an above-average student…
A Course of Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists offers a mathematics course for undergraduate students reading science and engineering at British and Commonwealth Universities and colleges. The aim of this volume is to generalize and develop the ideas and methods of earlier volumes so that the student can appreciate and use the mathematical methods required in the more advanced parts of ph…
