The authors enhanced their calculus book with the computer algebra system Macsyma. Their aim is to provide complete coverage of calculus, rather than to provide a ”reformed” calculus book. Students who master this text will be well versed in calculus and possess a useful working knowledge of Macsyma, equipping them with the mathematical competence they need for science and engineering majors and the competitive workplace.


Mathematical Modeling and Simulation by Kai Velten

Cover of ”Mathematical Modeling and Simulation”

Kai Velten: Mathematical Modeling and Simulation, Wiley-VCH, 2009.

The only book on modeling and simulation that is exclusively based on open source software. It includes many examples from such diverse fields as biology, ecology, economics, medicine, agricultural, chemical, electrical, mechanical, and process engineering. Requiring only little mathematical prerequisite in calculus and linear algebra, this lucidly written text is accessible to scientists, engineers, and students at the undergraduate level. The book addresses a broad range of models from elementary statistical models to ODE and PDE models. The reader is introduced into CAELinux, Calc, Code-Saturne, Maxima, R, and Salome-Meca.
