For combined differential equations and linear algebra courses teaching students who have successfully completed three semesters of calculus.
This complete introduction to both differential equations and linear algebra presents a carefully balanced and sound integration of the two topics. It promotes in-depth understanding rather than rote memorization, enabling students to fully comprehend abstract concepts and leave the course with a solid foundation in linear algebra. Flexible in format, it explains concepts clearly and logically with an abundance of examples and illustrations, without sacrificing level or rigor. A vast array of problems supports the material, with varying levels from which students/instructors can choose.
• A better integration of DE and Linear Algebra than other texts on the market.
• One of the most lucid and clearly written narratives on the subject, with material that is accessible to the average student yet challenging to all students.
• Highly flexible organization – Enablesinstructors to tailor the course to meet their needs.
• A greater emphasis on geometry – Helps students better visualize the abstract concepts.
• An ample number of worked examples to illustrate concepts.
• Boxed and/or shaded definitions for greater emphasis.
• Several application problems introduced in the first section of the text – Subsequently uses them throughout the following chapters to help motivate students.
• Enhanced visual appeal – Includes a 2-color design as well as a more natural, attractive, and consistent presentation of mathematics.
• Enlargement of most exercise sets – Now features over 2600 problems.
• Enhanced end-of-section pedagogy:
– Includes a list of key terms, skills students should acquire from the section, a true-false review section, and problems.
– Encourages students to take an active role in mastering each section’s concepts.
• End-of-chapter summary and some additional exercises for chapter:
– Give students a broad perspective on the chapter and encourage them to review topics on a larger scale.
– Some chapters also contain project ideas for students interested in deeper applications of the material.
• New problems in many sections – Provide additional practice and exposure to the ideas, methods, theoretical foundation, and applications presented.
• Reorganized material:
– The material on second-order linear differential equations has been moved into Chapter 6, which covers general nth order differential equations.
– Matrix functions are now introduced in Chapter 2.
– The matrix exponential function is now introduced in Chapter 5, which covers linear transformations.
• New sections added to the Third Edition:
– Sections 2.8 and 4.10 keep track of the many characteristics of the invertibility of an n x n matrix.
– Section 4.7 – Change of Basis – introduces the idea of the change of basis matrix, and how components of vectors relative to different bases are related.
– Section 5.5 – The Matrix of a Linear Transformation – illustrates how an arbitrary linear transformation between finite-dimensional vector spaces can be represented by a matrix, once a basis for each vector space has been specified, and shows how linear transformation concepts can be described in terms of matrix algebra.
– Section 5.11 – Jordan Canonical Forms – gives an elementary introduction to the Jordan canonical form of a n X n matrix.
