Courses on linear algebra and numerical analysis need each other. Often NA courses have some linear algebra topics, and LA courses mention some topics from numerical analysis/scientific computing. This text merges these two areas into one introductory undergraduate course. It assumes students have had multivariable calculus. A second goal of this text is to demonstrate the intimate relationship of linear algebra to applications/computations.A rigorous presentation has been maintained. A third reason for writing this text is to present, in the first half of the course, the very important topic on singular value decomposition, SVD. This is done by first restricting consideration to real matrices and vector spaces. The general inner product vector spaces are considered starting in the middle of the text.The text has a number of applications. These are to motivate the student to study the linear algebra topics. Also, the text has a number of computations. MATLAB® is used, but one could modify these codes to other programming languages. These are either to simplify some linear algebra computation, or to model a particular application.

Complex Variables: A Physical Approach with Applications, Second Edition offers a notable revision. The emphasis remains on theory and practice. The first part of the text focuses on the fundamental concepts. The author then moves on to a detailed look at how complex variables are used in the real world.

This textbook gives students a comprehensive introduction to formal methods and their application in software and hardware specification and verification.

This text is meant to be a hands-on lab manual that can be used in class every day to guide the exploration of the theory and applications of differential and integral calculus. For the most part, labs can be used individually or in a sequence. Each lab consists of an explanation of material with integrated exercises. Some labs are split into multiple subsections and thus exercises are separated by those subsections. The exercise sections integrate problems, technology, Mathematica R visualization, and Mathematica CDFs that allow students to discover the theory and applications of differential and integral calculus in a meaningful and memorable way.

This book focuses on mathematical thinking and problem solving, demonstrating how discrete probability, statistics, and elementary discrete mathematics can be applied in games, sports, and gambling situations. The text draws on numerous examples, questions, and problems to explain the application of mathematical theory to various real-life games.

Provides an introduction to the basics of modern topology. This work presents the traditional concepts of topological space, open and closed sets, separation axioms, and more, along with applications of the ideas in Morse, manifold, homotopy, and homology theories.

Previous edition: Mathematical groups / Tony Barnard and Hugh Neill (London: Teach Yourself Books, 1996).

This book provides the traditional role of exercises in a course to provide more-or-less routine applications of the main results, for the student's edification and also as possible material for examinations. It discusses Noetherian rings and prime ideals for algebraic geometry.
