The work's solid modern mathematical content and its personality recommend consideration as a text or as stimulating supplementary reading.\" - American Scientist\"The book is well written and the presentation throughout achieves clarity of thought with a minimum of computational effort.\" - Physics TodayThis rewarding text, beautifully illustrated by the author and written with superb clarity, offers undergraduate students a solid mathematical background and functions equally well for independent study.The five-part treatment begins with geometry, defining three-dimensional Euclidean space and its axioms, the coordinate system and coordinate transformation, and matrices. A review of vector algebra covers vector properties, multiplication, the resolution of a vector along a complete set of base vectors, and vector transformations. Topics in analytic geometry introduce loci, straight lines, the plane, two-dimensional curves, and the quadratic form. Functions are defined, as are intervals, along with multiplicity, the slope at a point, continuity, and areas. The concluding chapter, on differential and integral calculus, explains the concept of a limit, the derivative, the integral, differential equations, and applications of the calculus to kinematics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51935239373088,"sku":"NEW0486428087","price":48.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/fundamentals-of-scientific-mathematics-dover-books-on-mathematics-0486428087","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
