Informationen zum Autor Robert E. White Klappentext This book covers a number of topics in linear algebra that are often not covered in first-year calculus, such as complex numbers and functions, matrices, algebraic systems, curve fitting, elements of linear differential equations, transform methods, and tools of computation. It introduces 2- and 3-D vectors and their products, connecting them to multivariate calculus using geometric and algebraic approaches. The author illuminates concepts through several applications, including steady state models, mixing tanks, heat diffusion, and pin-jointed structures. The text also incorporates exercises and MATLAB to help with more complex calculations.
