ESource–Prentice Hall's Engineering Source–provides a complete, flexible introductory engineering and computing program. ESource allows professors to fully customize their textbooks through the ESource website. Professors are not only able to pick and choose modules, but also sections of modules, incorporate their own materials, and re-paginate and re-index the complete project. http://www.prenhall.com/esource

    

  • Introduces Mathcad's basic mathematical and data analysis functions (e.g., trigonometric, regression, and interpolation functions) using easy-to-follow examples, then applies the functions to examples drawn from emerging or rapidly developing fields in engineering.

 

  • Teaches users how to make use of Mathcad's special features, such as solve blocks for iterative solutions, QuickPlots to visualize functions, and working problems with units.

 

  • Exercise problems that have been designed to cover a variety of engineering disciplines.

 

  • Themes of Chapter openers are often integrated with application examples, and exercise problems to sustain student interest and involvement.
