The computer plays a prominent role throughout the text in generating computer graphics used to display such concepts as direction fields, phase portraits, surfaces and vector fields, convergence of Fourier series, the Gibbs phenomenon, and filtering noise from signals.

About the Author:

Served on the faculty at the University of Minnesota, The College of William and Mary in Virginia, where he was chairman of mathematics, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he was chairman of mathematics, dean of natural sciences and mathematics, and university provost. Primary research interests are in graph theory, combinatorial analysis and applications of mathematics to problems in the physical and biological sciences and engineering.

Review:

"I found the diagrams and graphs to be particularly good for a book of this nature. I feel that the strength of the book is its breadth and clear organization. It is an excellent reference also."

"There are more than enough problems. This is the best part of the book." "The independence of the various chapters is a great strength of the book."

"The ordinary differential equations/Laplace/systems material is very well-written and the students are very happy with it."
