Elementary Differential Equations: Applications, Models, and Computing (Textbooks in Mathematics)
by Charles Roberts Jr.<p>Elementary Differential Equations, Second Edition is written with the knowledge that there has been a dramatic change in the past century in how solutions to differential equations are calculated. However, the way the topic has been taught in introductory courses has barely changed to reflect these advances, which leaves students at a disadvantage. This second edition has been created to address these changes and help instructors facilitate new teaching methods and the latest tools, which includes computers. <p>The text is designed to help instructors who want to use computers in their classrooms. It accomplishes this by emphasizing and integrating computers in teaching elementary or ordinary differential equations. Many examples and exercises included in the text require the use of computer software to solve problems. It should be noted that since instructors use their own preferred software, this book has been written to be independent of any specific software package. <p>Features: <p> <li>Focuses on numerical methods and computing to generate solutions <li>Features extensive coverage of nonlinear differential equations and nonlinear systems <li>Includes software programs to solve problems in the text which are located on the author's website <li>Contains a wider variety of non-mathematical models than any competing textbook</li> <p>This second edition is a valuable, up-to-date tool for instructors teaching courses about differential equations. It serves as an excellent introductory textbook for undergraduate students majoring in applied mathematics, computer science, various engineering disciplines and other sciences. They also will find that the textbook will aide them greatly in their professional careers because of its instructions on how to use computers to solve equations.</p>

Elementary Introduction to the Lebesgue Integral (Textbooks in Mathematics)
by Steven G. KrantzIt is important and useful to have a text on the Lebesgue theory that is accessible to bright undergraduates. This is such a text. Going back to the days of Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, and even to Newton's teacher Isaac Barrow, the integral has been a mainstay of mathematical analysis. The integral is a device for amalgamating information. It is a powerful and irreplaceable tool. The text concentrates on the real line. The student will be familiar with the real numbers and will be comfortable internalizing the new ideas of measure theory in that context. In addition to having copious examples and numerous figures, this book includes a Table of Notation and a Glossary.
