A revision of a much-admired text distinguished by the exceptional prose and historical/mathematical context that have made Simmons' books classics. The Second Edition includes expanded coverage of Laplace transforms and partial differential equations as well as a new chapter on numerical methods.

Calculus With Analytic Geometry

Mcgraw-Hill College

This text is a spin-off of Appendices A ("A Variety of Additional Topics") and B ("Biographical Notes") of Simmons' successful CALCULUS WITH ANALYTIC GEOMETRY. The text is suitable as a supplement for a calculus course and/or history of mathematics course. The text may also be appropriate for a liberal arts mathematics course for students with minimal mathematics background.

This material is intended to contribute to a wider appreciation of the mathematical words "continuity and linearity." The book's purpose is to illuminate the meanings of these words and their relation to each other.

Introduction to Topology and Modern Analysis

Earth Sciences

McGraw-Hill Inc.,US

This traditional text is intended for mainstream one- or two-semester differential equations courses taken by undergraduates majoring in engineering, mathematics, and the sciences. Written by two of the world?s leading authorities on differential equations, Simmons/Krantz provides a cogent and accessible introduction to ordinary differential equations written in classical style. Its rich variety of modern applications in engineering, physics, and the applied sciences illuminate the concepts and techniques that students will use through practice to solve real-life problems in their careers. This text is part of the Walter Rudin Student Series in Advanced Mathematics.

Differential Equations: Theory, Technique And Practice

Krantz, Steven G.

McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math.

The classic book - back in print! The first half of Calculus Gems is a biographical history of mathematics from the earliest times to the late nineteenth century. The author shows how science - and mathematics in particular - is something that people do, and not merely a mass of observed data and abstract theory. He demonstrates the profound connections that join mathematics to the history of philosophy and also to the broader intellectual and social history of Western civilization. The second half contains nuggets that Simmons has collected from number theory, geometry, science, etc., which he has used in his mathematics classes, meaning that it can be used as a supplement in a Calculus course, or a History of Mathematics course. The overall aim of this book is to answer the question, 'What is mathematics for?' and with its inevitable answer, 'To delight the mind and help us understand the world.'

Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes (Textbooks in Mathematics)

Fads are as common in mathematics as in any other human activity, and it is always difficult to separate the enduring from the ephemeral in the achievements of one’s own time. An unfortunate effect of the predominance of fads is that if a student doesn’t learn about such worthwhile topics as the wave equation, Gauss’s hypergeometric function, the gamma function, and the basic problems of the calculus of variations―among others―as an undergraduate, then he/she is unlikely to do so later.\nThe natural place for an informal acquaintance with such ideas is a leisurely introductory course on differential equations. Specially designed for just such a course, Differential Equations with Applications and Historical Notes takes great pleasure in the journey into the world of differential equations and their wide range of applications. The author―a highly respected educator―advocates a careful approach, using explicit explanation to ensure students fully comprehend the subject matter.\nWith an emphasis on modeling and applications, the long-awaited Third Edition of this classic textbook presents a substantial new section on Gauss’s bell curve and improves coverage of Fourier analysis, numerical methods, and linear algebra. Relating the development of mathematics to human activity―i.e., identifying why and how mathematics is used―the text includes a wealth of unique examples and exercises, as well as the author’s distinctive historical notes, throughout.\nProvides an ideal text for a one- or two-semester introductory course on differential equations\nEmphasizes modeling and applications\nPresents a substantial new section on Gauss’s bell curve\nImproves coverage of Fourier analysis, numerical methods, and linear algebra\nRelates the development of mathematics to human activity―i.e., identifying why and how mathematics is used\nIncludes a wealth of unique examples and exercises, as well as the author’s distinctive historical notes, throughout\nUses explicit explanation to ensure students fully comprehend the subject matter\nOutstanding Academic Title of the Year, Choice magazine, American Library Association.
