The student solutions manual provides worked-out solutions to the odd-numbered problems in the text. This manual also contains useful study tools, such as practice tests and key formulas and concepts summarized at the end of each chapter.

Stewart's SINGLE VARIABLE CALCULUS WITH VECTOR FUNCTIONS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS offers a streamlined approach to teaching calculus, focusing on major concepts and supporting those with precise definitions, patient explanations, and carefully graded problems. SINGLE VARIABLE CALCULUS WITH VECTOR FUNCTIONS: CONCEPTS AND CONTEXTS successfully brought peace to departments that were split between reform and traditional approaches to teaching calculus. Not only does the text help reconcile the two sch...

Following Quillen's approach to complex cobordism, the authors introduce the notion of oriented cohomology theory on the category of smooth varieties over a fixed field. They prove the existence of a universal such theory (in characteristic 0) called Algebraic Cobordism. The book also contains some examples of computations and applications.

The Angel author team meets the needs of today's learners by pairing concise explanations with the new Understanding Algebra feature and an updated approach to examples. Discussions throughout the text have been thoroughly revised for brevity and accessibility. Whenever possible, a visual example or diagram is used to explain concepts and procedures. Understanding Algebra call-outs highlight key points throughout the text, allowing readers to identify important points at a glance. The updated ex...

This is a combined version of Anton and Rorres' "Applications of Linear Algebra" and Anton's "Elementary Linear Algebra" into one practical, flexible text. It incorporates 20 applications drawn from business, economics, engineering, physics, computer science, sociology and numerous other disciplines. The applications are self-contained, giving instructors the flexibility to choose those that are best suited to their students and to incorporate them anywhere in the course after the mathematical p...

For courses in Beginning/Elementary/Introductory Algebra.A text which students can actually READ and use to learn beginning algebra - and which instructors can use as a genuinely supportive framework from which to teach algebra -Beginning Algebra with Applications features an easy-to-read presentation, an emphasis on problem-solving skills, a wealth of well-chosen, illustrative examples, and uniquely structured problem sets.

This volume contains original research articles, survey articles and lecture notes related to the Computations with Modular Forms 2011 Summer School and Conference, held at the University of Heidelberg. A key theme of the Conference and Summer School was the interplay between theory, algorithms and experiment. The 14 papers offer readers both, instructional courses on the latest algorithms for computing modular and automorphic forms, as well as original research articles reporting on the latest...

This volume corresponds to the Banff International Research Station Workshop on Randomization, Relaxation, and Complexity, held from February 28-March 5, 2010 in Banff, Ontario, Canada. This volume contains a sample of advanced algorithmic techniques underpinning the solution of systems of polynomial equations. The papers are written by leading experts in algorithmic algebraic geometry and touch upon core topics such as homotopy methods for approximating complex solutions, robust floating point...

Contains fully worked-out solutions to all of the odd-numbered exercises in the text, giving students a way to check their answers and ensure that they took the correct steps to arrive at an answer.

This volume examines two important classes that are characteristic of combinatorial optimization problems: sequencing and scheduling (in which a set of objects has to be ordered subject to a number of conditions), and packing and partitioning (in which a set of objects has to be split into subsets in order to meet a certain objective). These classes of problems encompass a wide range of practical applications, from production planning and flexible manufacturing to computer scheduling and VLSI de...
