Guide to essential math: a review for physics, chemistry and engineering students

This book reminds students in junior, senior and graduate level courses in physics, chemistry and engineering of the math they may have forgotten (or learned imperfectly) which is needed to succeed in science courses. The focus is onmath actually used in physics, chemistry and engineering, and the approach tomathematics begins with 12 examples of increasing complexity, designed to hone the student's ability to think in mathematical terms and to apply quantitative methods to scientific problems. By the author's design, no problems are included in the text, to allow the students to focus on their science course assignments.This book features: highly accessible presentation of fundamental mathematical techniques needed in science and engineering courses; use of proven pedagogical techniques developed during the authors 40 years of teaching experience; illustrations and links to reference material on World-Wide-Web; and, coverage of fairly advanced topics, including vector and matrix algebra, partialdifferential equations, special functions and complex variables.
