DESCRIPTION:
. John is professor of mathematics education at the University of Plymouth, England, and director of the Center for Teaching Mathematics
Numerical methods are integrated with analytical techniques where appropriate.. Topics covered include calculus, ordinary and partial differential equations, and statistics. Covering the basic mathematics taught to first year students of science and engineering, this textbook reflects the growing awareness that ancillary mathematics should not be taught in isolation from its applications. Each chapter starts with two or three examples setting the new techniques to be studied in the context of the scientific world; the mathematics is then presented, along with worked examples
About the Author John is professor of mathematics education at the University of Plymouth, England, and director of the Center for Teaching Mathematics.
My Phenotype and I said Introductory mathematics. I like this book. I borrowed it from the library and decided it was worth owning a copy. It is designed with science students in mind who might not have super maths backgrounds, which is unfortunately assumed in many texts out there. The authors introduce the concepts gradually, and with clear examples relating directly to scientific principles. There are plenty of exercises with solutions.
