Description
Pearson Differential Equations And Linear Algebra, 3 Ed by Stephen Walther
For combined differential equations and linear algebra courses teaching students who have successfully completed three semesters of calculus.This complete introduction to both differential equations and linear algebra presents a carefully balanced and sound integration of the two topics. It promotes in-depth understanding rather than rote memorization, enabling students to fully comprehend abstract concepts and leave the course with a solid foundation in linear algebra. Flexible in format, it explains concepts clearly and logically with an abundance of examples and illustrations, without sacrificing level or rigor. A vast array of problems supports the material, with varying levels from which students/instructors can choose."
