2. PREFACE- the book is designed for use for entry level graduate students, or working professionals looking for review/topical introduction. - computer based solutions are used liberally throughout the book with a bias towards practical problems. - basic book design - short chapters, easily used as one or more modules per class - review modules are marked with the title review. This allows review material to be reviewed without having it dominate the book - programs are written in C and Scilab. Scilab has been used because it is available freely, but is very similar to matlab - sample problem solutions are boxed - asides and notes are given as appropriate - the text is written to be very direct and student friendly in tone. - written from an engineers perspective - using mathematics as a tool - chapters begin and end with summaries - in some cases topics are presented out of order. Although this would be a major problem if it was a first introduction, as a review it is done in the interests of brevity. 2.1 Todo2.2 Problems Not Sorted |
