Product Description
Brannan provides engineers with both an introduction to, and a survey of, modern methods, applications, and theory of a powerful mathematical apparatus that will help them in the field. Section exercises of varying levels of difficulty give them hands-on experience in modeling, analysis, and computer experimentation. New coverage is included on series solutions of second order linear equations, partial differential equations and Fourier Solutions, and boundary value problems and Sturm-Liouville Theory. The companion ODE Architect CD arms them with a user-friendly software tool for computing numerical approximations to solutions of systems of differential equations, and for constructing component plots, direction fields, and phase portraits. Physical representations of dynamical systems and animations available in the ODE Architect enable engineers to visualize solutions routinely. ... Read more

terrible
Mostly likely you have to buy this book for a class, like I did. I hope your instructor is good, because it is difficult to glean any information out of this text. I am working on my second degree, so I have used a fair number of textbooks. This one ranks at the bottom for clarity. As was mentioned in another review, many important concepts are introduced as part of the problem sets, as in: Hope you did the first one right, because you're going to need it for the next set of exercises.

Another irritation, which is at the heart of the textbook pricing scam: this text is almost (maybe completely) unchanged from the previous edition, and large sections (if not almost all) have been taken wholesale from the Boyce Diprima version, which is in an eighth edition. So the value-added which makes this worth ~$190 retail is what exactly??? The color change on the cover? the number 2 replacing the number 1? ... Read more

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! William Boyce (baptised 11 September 1711 - 7 February 1779) is widely regarded as one of the most important English-born composers of the 18th century. Born in London, Boyce was a choirboy at St Paul's Cathedral before studying music with Maurice Greene after his voice broke. A house in the present choir school is named after him. His first professional appointment came in 1734 when he was employed as an organist at the Oxford Chapel. He went on to take a number of similar posts before being appointed Master of the King's Musick in 1755 and becoming one of the organists at the Chapel Royal in 1758. When Boyce's deafness became so bad that he was unable to continue in his organist posts, he retired and worked on completing the compilation Cathedral Music that his teacher Greene had left incomplete at his death. This led to Boyce editing works by the likes of William Byrd and Henry Purcell. Many of the pieces in the collection are still used in Anglican services today. ... Read more

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "William Boyce," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have William Boyce in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with William Boyce when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name William Boyce, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more
