For courses in Differential Equations and Linear Algebra. Acclaimed authors Edwards and Penney combine core topics in elementary differential equations with those concepts and methods of elementary linear algebra needed for a contemporary combined introduction to differential equations and linear algebra. Known for its real-world applications and its blend of algebraic and geometric approaches, this text discusses mathematical modeling of real-world phenomena, with a fresh new computational and qualitative flavor evident throughout in figures, examples, problems, and applications. In the Third Edition, new graphics and narrative have been added as needed—yet the proven chapter and section structure remains unchanged, so that class notes and syllabi will not require revision for the new edition.
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 vectors b for which Ax = b is indeed a consistent equation, how many solution vectors x does each equation have? Why? Suppose that A is a 3×4 matrix for which the homogeneous equation Ax = 0 has exactly one free variable present ...
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 contents of the book have been made user-friendly through concise useful theoretical discussions and numerous illustrative examples practical and pathological.
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.
The material presented in this book corresponds to a semester-long course, ``Linear Algebra and Differential Equations'', taught to sophomore students at UC Berkeley.
