Leading maths textbook goes interactive

Definitive reference software and textbook for engineering mathematics is available in an electronic, interactive version.

Adept Scientific has available an electronics version of Advanced Engineering Mathematics with Maple, the definitive reference software and textbook for engineering mathematics Advanced Engineering Mathematics is a classic series featuring several books from multiple publishers all under the same title

This Maplesoft release is the first electronic, interactive version.

It is a resource for engineering professionals, students and instructors, providing coverage of all major areas of engineering mathematics.

The author, Robert Lopez, is a professor and Maple expert who pioneered the instructional use of Maple for general and engineering mathematics.

The founding companies of the Numerical Mathematics Consortium established the organisation to create a standard specification for numeric mathematics that ensures algorithm portability and reuse across platforms and applications.

The organisation's objective is to create a specification that defines core mathematical function definitions applicable to numeric algorithms.

These algorithms can be implemented in applications such as industrial control, embedded design and scientific research, as well as be easily shared among researchers and developers in industry and academia.

"An e-book for Advanced Engineering Mathematics is a new paradigm for learning and using engineering maths," said Lopez, who also authored the print version published by Addison-Wesley in 2001.

"The combination of the content and an interactive tool like Maple makes this much more effective than print alone".

"The reader can interact with the mathematics and graphs in the book, exploring parameters, running what-if scenarios, and modifying examples to solve specific problems".

Tom Lee, Vice President of Market Development for Maplesoft, said: "Advanced Engineering Mathematics with Maple provides the same depth and breadth as the print version, but is more useful and convenient as it provides a unique combination of reference information and live computation".

The e-book provides professionals with a handy, easy-to-use reference text.

Its logical topic breakdown lets the reader focus on concepts of interest, and the examples can be easily modified to help solve similar problems.

With the e-book's clear exposition, it also serves as a topic refresher for infrequently used subject areas.

The book is an essential companion for mathematics courses, including ODEs, PDEs, vector calculus, matrix algebra, complex variables, numerical methods and the calculus of variations.

With its explanations, modifiable examples and exercises, this e-book helps students learn and solve problems quickly, and serves as a reference after finishing the courses. Request a free brochure from Adept Scientific ...
