Applied calculus for scientists and engineers; a journey in dialogues.QA303 2005-001690 0-7637-2877-2 Applied calculus for scientists and engineers; a journey in dialogues. Blume, Frank. Jones & Bartlett, [c]2005 869 p. $112.95 Written for a four-semester sequence, this textbook introduces the principles of differential calculus differential calculus: see calculus. differential calculus Branch of mathematical analysis, devised by Isaac Newton and G.W. Leibniz, and concerned with the problem of finding the rate of change of a function with respect to the variable on which it , integral calculus integral calculus: see calculus. integral calculus Branch of calculus concerned with the theory and applications of integrals. While differential calculus focuses on rates of change, such as slopes of tangent lines and velocities, integral calculus , differential equations, and vector calculus Vector calculus (also called vector analysis) is a field of mathematics concerned with multivariate real analysis of vectors in a metric space with two or more dimensions (some results can only be applied to three dimensions[1]). . The concepts are illustrated with examples relating to the laws of motion laws of motion See Newton's laws of motion. , and further explained in imaginary discussions between a teacher and student. Blume (John Brown University) covers graphs of functions, Newton's method of approximation, trigonometric functions, Taylor polynomials, the Laplace transform, mechanical systems, and the geometry of 3D space. |
