Description

This textbook integrates linear algebra and the solution of difference equations, ordinary and partial differential equations and systems of linear differential equations. The topics are presented separately, but the authors stress the theory and techniques which link them together. The book has emerged from distance learning material, written for the Polytechnic Associateship in Mathematics at Sheffield City Polytechnic.
