chapters are available for free?
Features:
- Examples of real-life applications are
available from seven different engineering
majors.
- Each chapter is followed by multiple-choice
questions.
- Supplemental material such as primers on
differential and integral calculus, and ordinary
differential equations are available on the
web.
- The book has a state-of-art dedicated open
courseware website with extra examples,
