Advanced Engineering Mathematics
Robert J. Lopez,
Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-38073-0
Advanced Engineering Mathematics spans the range of post-calculus mathematics an engineering or science student needs at the undergraduate level.
It includes ordinary and partial differential equations, boundary value problems, series representations of functions, approximations, vector calculus, matrix algebra, complex variables, and numerical methods.
A 21st century curriculum based on the use of a computer algebra system has been written into this new text by Robert Lopez. Maple has been used throughout this book as a primary working tool in presenting, learning, and doing all this undergraduate mathematics. The working tool for the student is a computer algebra system like Maple. Its use in instruction and practice has been integrated into the course and not merely treated as an outside activity.
Accompanying the text is a collection of 273 Maple worksheets that parallel each of the book's sections, and that capture the static print pages in a dynamic and interactive way. For more information, check http://www.awl.com/info/lopez/.
About the Author
Robert J. Lopez is an applied mathematician with a Purdue University Ph.D. (1970) in relativistic cosmology. After a short stint at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, he spent 12 years at Memorial University in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. He has been at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, where he pioneered the use of Maple in the classroom, since 1985. He has authored books and papers, represented Maple "on the road" for 30 months, and received his Institute's awards for both teaching excellence and distinguished scholarship. He continues to promote technology as an active partner to undergraduate instruction and curriculum revision.
