Guide to Mathematical Methods Zusammenfassung

Guide to Mathematical Methods John Gilbert

Like other books in the Macmillan Mathematical Guides series, this book is written for first year undergraduates on mathematics degree courses, and provides a carefully paced and readable introduction to its topic. Plenty of worked examples and exercises are provided. The book is based on the first year Mathematical Methods course in the Pure Maths department at Sheffield University - a course which has run successfully for many years in a self-paced learning mode.
