For combined differential equations and linear algebra courses teaching students who have successfully completed three semesters of calculus. This complete introduction to both differential equations and linear algebra presents a carefully balanced and sound integration of the two topics. It promotes in-depth understanding rather than rote memorization, enabling students to fully comprehend abstract concepts and leave the course with a solid foundation in linear algebra. Flexible in format, it explains concepts clearly and logically with an abundance of examples and illustrations, without sacrificing level or rigor. A vast array of problems supports the material, with varying levels from which students/instructors can choose.
The book goes on to present the fundamentals of vector spaces, followed by eigenvalues and eigenvectors, positive definiteness, integral transform methods and applications to PDEs.
For the first time, MyLab(TM) Math is available for this text, providing online homework with immediate feedback, the complete eText, and more.
Elementary Differential Equations with Linear Algebra, Third Edition provides an introduction to differential equation and linear algebra. This book includes topics on numerical methods and Laplace transforms.
Excellent introductory text focuses on complex numbers, determinants, orthonormal bases, symmetric and hermitian matrices, first order non-linear equations, linear differential equations, Laplace transforms, Bessel functions, more.
The Fourth Edition includes many updated problems to support the material, with varying difficulty levels from which students/instructors can choose.
The G3 max-norm of a is | a lomax : max{| ti l, • * * * | tn |}. The basic fact about norms is the equivalence of norms: Proposition 1 Let N : R* → R be any norm. There exist constants A > 0, B > 0 such that (4) A || 3 | < N(x) < B | a ...
This book has been written for a one-semester combined linear algebra and differential equations course, yet it contains enough material for a two-term sequence in linear algebra and differential equations.
