Solution Manuals of Advanced Engineering Mathematics Ninth edition

Abstract

General Character and Purpose of the Instructor’s Manual This Manual contains: (I) Detailed solutions of the even-numbered problems. (II) General comments on the purpose of each section and its classroom use, with mathematical and didactic information on teaching practice and pedagogical aspects. Some of the comments refer to whole chapters (and are indicated accordingly). Changes in Problem Sets The major changes in this edition of the text are listed and explained in the Preface of the book. They include global improvements produced by updating and streamlining chapters as well as many local improvements aimed at simplification of the whole text. Speedy orientation is helped by chapter summaries at the end of each chapter, as in the last edition, and by the subdivision of sections into subsections with unnumbered headings. Resulting effects of these changes on the problem sets are as follows. The problems have been changed. The large total number of more than 4000 problems has been retained, increasing their overall usefulness by the following: • Placing more emphasis on modeling and conceptual thinking and less emphasis on technicalities, to parallel recent and ongoing developments in calculus. • Balancing by extending problem sets that seemed too short and contracting others that were too long, adjusting the length to the relative importance of the material in a section, so that important issues are reflected sufficiently well not only in the text but also in the problems. Thus, the danger of overemphasizing minor techniques and ideas is avoided as much as possible. • Simplification by omitting a small number of very difficult problems that appeared in the previous edition, retaining the wide spectrum ranging from simple routine problems to more sophisticated engineering applications, and taking into account the “algorithmic thinking” that is developing along with computers. • Amalgamation of text, examples, and problems by including the large number of more than 600 worked-out examples in the text and by providing problems closely related to those examples. • Addition of TEAM PROJECTS, CAS PROJECTS, and WRITING PROJECTS, whose role is explained in the Preface of the book. • Addition of CAS EXPERIMENTS, that is, the use of the computer in “experi
