In updating the 1988 text, Greenberg (mechanical engineering, U. of Delaware, Newark) has incorporated a computer algebra system (namely, Maple, with an instructor's manual and student supplement available). No longer assuming that science and engineering students have completed a course in ordinary differential equations, he covers such in the first part. The other sections span: linear algebra, multivariate calculus and field theory, Fourier methods and partial differential equations, and complex variable theory. Contains chapter reviews, exercises, selected formulas, and tables. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
