This book is intended for students who have had a twosemester or threesemester introductory calculus course. Its purpose is to help students developin a short time a basic competence in each of the many areas of mathematicsneeded in advanced courses in physics chemistry and engineering. Students aregiven sufficient depth to gain a solid foundation this is not a recipe book.At the same time they are not overwhelmed with detailed proofs that are moreappropriate for students of mathematics. The emphasis is on mathematicalmethods rather than applications but students are given some idea of how themethods will be used along with some simple applications. «
