This clear, pedagogically rich book develops a strong understanding of the mathematical principles and practices that today's engineers and scientists need to know. Equally effective as either a textbook or reference manual, it approaches mathematical concepts from a practical-use perspective making physical applications more vivid and substantial. Its comprehensive instructional framework supports a conversational, down-to-earth narrative style offering easy accessibility and frequent opportunities for application and reinforcement.
When you open this page we ask eCampus, Knetbooks, BiggerBooks and VitalSource for their current prices on ISBN 9780133214314 and sort every offer by its total with shipping. Rental rows show the term (semester, quarter or short term) and that term goes with you to the store's cart, and eBook rows link straight to the 180-day or no-expiry option you picked. Prices are rechecked at least every 30 minutes, so confirm the total at checkout.
