Overview

Available with WebAssign!

Now with a full-color design, the new Fourth Edition of Zill's Advanced Engineering Mathematics provides an in-depth overview of the many mathematical topics necessary for students planning a career in engineering or the sciences. A key strength of this text is Zill's emphasis on differential equations as mathematical models, discussing the constructs and pitfalls of each. The Fourth Edition is comprehensive, yet flexible, to meet the unique needs of various course offerings ranging from ordinary differential equations to vector calculus.  New modern applications and projects, coupled with a new statistics and probability CD-ROM included with every new copy makes Zill's classic text a must-have text and resource for Engineering Math students!
