Inhaltsangabe

Boyce & DiPrima's market-leading text maintains its classic strengths: a contemporary approach with flexible chapter construction, clear exposition, and outstanding problems. A reorganized structure helps to make concepts even clearer and easier to understand. An abundance of new problems have been added to the problem sets, with special attention paid to incorporating computer technology. Like previous editions, this revision is written from the viewpoint of the applied mathematician, focusing both on the theory and the practical applications of Differential Equations as they apply to engineering and the sciences. The text is intended for a sophomore/junior level course in Ordinary Differential Equations that is taught in departments of mathematics and engineering with a calculus prerequisite. Take advantage of a valuable opportunity When you purchase this new Course Advantage Edition of Boyce & Diprima's Elementary Differential Equations and Boudary Value Problems, 7/e, you'll have all the resources you need to succeed in your course. The Course Advantage Edition gives you a CD-ROM with powerful ODE Architect modeling software and a special registration password that connects you to an array of Web-based Learning tools. The CD-ROM includes: The award-winning ODE Architect software. The software's 14 modules enable you to build and solve your own ODEs, and to use simulations and multimedia to develop detailed mathematical models and concepts in a truly interactive environment.; The ODE Architect Companion. The Companion extends the ideas featured in each multimedia module.; Student solutions Manual. This electronic solutions manual contains selected problems from th textbook.; An electronic version of the entire Seventh Edition. The electronic version of the text features hyperlinks for navigation, as well as hyperlinks to the ODE Architect software and the Student Solutions Manual.; The Web-based learning tools include:; Review & Study Outlines. The Chapter Review Outlines will help you prepare for quizzes and exams.; Online Review Quizzes. The quizzes enable you to test your knowledge of key concepts and provide diagnostic feedback that references appropriate sections in the text.; PowerPoint Slides. You can print these slides out for in-class note taking.; Getting Started with ODE Architect. This guide will help you get up-and-running with ODE Architect's simulations and multimedia.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

William E. Boyce recieved his B.A. degree in Mathematics from Rhodes College, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Mathematics from Carnegie-Mellon University. He is a member of the American Mathematical Society, the Mathematical Association of America, and the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics. He is currently the Edward P. Hamilton Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Science Education (Department of Mathematical Sciences) and Rensselaer. He is the author of numerous technical papers in boundary value problems and random differential equations and their applications. He is the author of several textbooks including two differential equations texts, and is the coauthor(With M.H. Holmes, J.G. Ecker, and W.L.Siegmann) of a text on using Maple to explore Calculus. He is also coauthor (with R.L. Borrelli and C.S. Coleman) of Differential Equations Laboratory Workbook (Wiley 1992), which recieved the EDUCOM Best Mathematics Curricular Innovation Award in 1993. Profesor Boyce was a member of the NSF-sponsored CODEE (Consortium for Ordinary Differential Equations Experiments) That led to the Widely-acclaimed ODE Architect. He has also been active in curriculum innovation and reform. Among other things, he was the initiator of the "Computers in Calculus" project at Rensselaer, partially supported by the NSF. In 1991 he recieved the William H. Wiley Distinguished Faculty Award given by Rensselaer. Richard C. DiPrima (decreased) recieved his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Mathematics from Carnegie-Mellon University. He joined the faculty of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute after holding research positions at MIT, Harvard, and Hughes Aircraft. He held the Eliza Ricketts Foundation Professorship of Mathematics at Rensselaer, was a fellow of the American society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Academy of Mechanics, and the American Physical Society. He was also a member of the American Mathimatical society, the Mathimatical Association of America, and the society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics. He served as the Chairman of the Departmant of Mathematical Sciences at Rensselaer, as President of the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics,and as Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Applied Mechanics Division of ASME. In 1980, he was the recipient of the William H. Wiley Distinguished Faculty Award given by Rensselaer. He recieved Fulbright fellowships in 1964-65 and 1983 and a Guggenheim fellowship in 1982-83. He was the author of numerous technical papers in hydrodynamic stabilty and lubrication theory and two texts on differential equations and boundary value problems. Professor Di Prima died on September 10, 1984.
