Definitive interactive e-book greatly enhances Advanced Engineering Mathematics series for engineering professionals, students and instructors

Adept Scientific is pleased to announce the availability of Advanced Engineering Mathematics with Maple, the definitive reference software and textbook for engineering mathematics. Advanced Engineering Mathematics is a classic series featuring several books from multiple publishers all under the same title. This Maplesoft release is the first electronic, interactive version.

Advanced Engineering Mathematics with Maple, an essential resource for every engineering professional, student and instructor, provides complete coverage of all major areas of engineering mathematics. The author, Dr. Robert J. Lopez, is a renowned professor and Maple expert, who pioneered the instructional use of Maple for general and engineering mathematics.

The founding companies of the Numerical Mathematics Consortium established the organisation to create a standard specification for numeric mathematics that ensures algorithm portability and reuse across platforms and applications. The organisation’s objective is to create a specification that defines core mathematical function definitions applicable to numeric algorithms. These algorithms can then be implemented in a wide variety of application areas such as industrial control,embedded design and scientific research, as well as be easily shared among researchers and developers in industry and academia.

“An e-book for Advanced Engineering Mathematics is a new paradigm for learning and using engineering maths,” said Dr. Lopez, who also authored the print version published by Addison-Wesley in 2001. “The combination of the content and an interactive tool like Maple makes this much more effective than print alone. The reader can interact with the mathematics and graphs in the book, exploring parameters, running what-if scenarios, and modifying examples to solve specific problems. Advanced Engineering Mathematics is one of the most important titles in engineering and is an essential part of every engineer’s toolset.”

Dr. Tom Lee, Vice President of Market Development for Maplesoft, says, “Maplesoft is committed to offering the core tools and the content to make math more useful and accessible to all engineers. Advanced Engineering Mathematics with Maple provides the same depth and breadth as the print version, but is more useful and convenient as it provides a unique combination of reference information and live computation. It is the ideal tool for engineers and students to look up essential mathematical techniques, perform calculations, and learn topics.”

Advanced Engineering Mathematics with Maple was designed to benefit engineering professionals, students and instructors. The e-book provides professionals with a handy, easy-to-use reference text. Its logical topic breakdown allows the reader to focus on concepts of interest, and the examples can be easily modified to help solve similar problems. With the e-book’s clear exposition, it also serves as a topic refresher for infrequently used subject areas.

Advanced Engineering Mathematics with Maple is the essential companion for mathematics courses, including ODEs, PDEs, Vector Calculus, Matrix Algebra, Complex Variables, Numerical Methods and the Calculus of Variations. With its explanations, modifiable examples, and exercises, this single e-book helps students learn and solve problems quickly, and serves as a reference after finishing the courses. A Solution Manual that contains full solutions to many exercises in the e-book is also available.

The e-book was created and used in the author’s classes, so its materials have been class-tested at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. An Instructor Manual with solutions to all exercises is also available. Instructors interested in adopting the textbook should contact Adept Scientific.

Key Features
Advanced Engineering Mathematics with Maple features nine major subject areas, 48 chapters and 273 section topics. The e-book includes modifiable examples and interactive graphs throughout. The text provides a logical arrangement of topics with many short self-contained sections for easy, direct access. Concepts are stated and explained clearly before, rather than after, the mechanical calculation techniques are introduced, resulting in quicker comprehension of the important ideas. It includes many real-world applications of interest to engineers selected from a wide spectrum of physical and mathematical disciplines. The e-book features more than 7000 exercises, including section exercises and chapter review questions. Answers are provided to selected exercises.
