Advanced Engineering Mathematics

I think this is the best book, although this is not a course book, but this book is for increase the interest in mathematics, you have to read in patience, and once you deep dive into it; it will be enjoying, this book is not for those who seeks shortcut in learning, this book has deep in itself, I'm thankful to this book to help in the interest in mathematics.

Great resource based on clear presentation of concepts with good examples. The tradeoffs with getting this International Student Version [instructional content identical to US textbook but section/chapter end problems often have different coefficient values, so cross checking against US Student Handbook is not one-to-one; the ISV is printed in B&W (shades of grey really) but a color PDF of US textbook version can be found on the internet; the ISV is printed on thin newsprint vs heartier paper stock] are acceptable given the significant savings realized vs the US textbook version cost. Note that the ISV does not include the following two section and corresponding chapters that are included in the US textbook version: PART F Optimization, Graphs CHAPTER 22 Unconstrained Optimization. Linear Programming CHAPTER 23 Graphs. Combinatorial Optimization PART G Probability, Statistics CHAPTER 24 Data Analysis. Probability Theory CHAPTER 25 Mathematical Statistics

Superb book, the author has written it in a context that is very useful for the learning process that most do not adopt by explaining what a topic is used and introducing topics in a logical progression. Shame the book was stitched and the first few pages fell out on opening, printers really need to improve quality control systems.

El título del libro define su objetivo: matemáticas avanzadas para ingeniería. Supone que el lector ya tiene los conocimientos de cálculo infinitesimal necesarios. Su tratamiento del álgebra lineal es un poco rudimentario: actualmente cualquier curso de primero de una ingeniería profundiza más (existen libros que cubren el Álgebra, como los del profesor del MIT Gilbert Strang). En esta edición internacional, la probabilidad y estadística no se tratan, pero tampoco era lo mejor del texto. Sin embargo casi todos las matemáticas de ingeniería están cubiertas de una forma muy práctica y con ejemplos típicos. El problema de las ingenierías es que tienen las matemáticas dispersas en diversas cátedras y asignaturas con lo que al final, por desorganización, quedan temas que no se tratan. Este libro da una visión entendible de casi todas las matemáticas, incluso si hace años que no se estudian. Claro, siempre quedarán algunos aspectos especializados que no vienen. Buen libro para un profesional que debe usar las matemáticas en su trabajo habitual.

Pros Conceptual clearity - god level Language is to the point and comprehensive Covers all topics Best book for UPSC and related exams Cons Binding is poor, pages fall out like hairs off a balding man Bulky - not for the weak men.
