Directed primarily at college and university undergraduates, this
book covers at basic level the essential applications of
mathematics to the physical sciences. It contains all the usual
topics covered in a first-year course such as vectors, matrices,
differential equations, basic mathematical functions and their
analysis, and power series. There is a strong emphasis on
qualitative understanding (such as curve sketching) and practical
methods of solution. The latter take due account of the impact of
computers on the subject. The principles of mathematical expression
are illustrated by copious examples taken from a wide range of
topics in physics and chemistry. Each of the short chapters
concludes with a summary and a large number of problems.
