Now with a full-color design, the new fourth edition of Zill"s Advanced Engineering Mathematics provides an in-depth overview of the many mathematical topics necessary for students planning a career in engineering or the sciences. A key strength of this text is Zill’s emphasis on differential equations as mathematical models, discussing the constructs and pitfalls of each. The Fourth edition is comprehensive, yet flexible, to meet the unique needs of various course offerings ranging from ordinary differential equations to vector calculus. New modern applications and projects, makes Zill’s classic text a must-have text and resource for Engineering Math students.
Key Features
New full-colour design and art program
Nine new interesting projects appear in the front of the text
Comprises a new section on Green’s functions for ordinary differential equations. Includes new modern projects and applications
Sections on Dot Product and Cross Product have been completely rewritten to bring them in conformity with the current approach to these subjects
The section on Independence of the Path has also been completely rewritten. As an aftereffect of the calculus reform movement, the approach to this subject puts special emphasis on the notion of a conservative vector field; the rewriting brings this section into conformity with that approach
New problems have been added throughout the entire text
