The discussions then cover methods of solving second-order homogeneous and nonhomogeneous linear equations with constant coefficients; systems of linear differential equations; the Laplace transform and its applications to the solution of differential equations and systems of differential equations; and systems of nonlinear equations. Each chapter concludes with a summary of the important concepts in the chapter. Figures and tables are provided within sections to help students visualize or summarize concepts. The book also includes examples and exercises drawn from biology, chemistry, and economics, as well as from traditional pure mathematics, physics, and engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is designed for undergraduate students majoring in mathematics, the natural sciences, and engineering. However, students in economics, business, and the social sciences with the necessary background will also find the text useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudent friendly readability- assessible to the average student\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly introduction of qualitative and numerical methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge number of exercises taken from biology, chemistry, economics, physics and engineering \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercises are labeled depending on difficulty\/sophistication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnd of chapter summaries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGroup projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108268589296,"sku":"9780080886039","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780080886039_p0.jpg?v=1763638341","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780080886039","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
