(Chapter 5) Systems of Linear Equations. (Chapter 6) Matrices and Linear Transformations. (Chapter 7) Complex Numbers and Polar Co-ordinates. Answers to Vectors & Matrices (Laid In). EXCERPT: PREFACE .We attempt in these texts to introduce the student to topics that are vital to an understanding of more advanced mathematics. A basic concept is that of function. In Volume I many facets of this concept are discussed. We also cover in this and the other volumes such topics as sets, logic, combinatorial analysis, finite probability, differential calculus, vectors, matrices and complex numbers. It should not be thought that we are presenting advanced material in any of these topics. In all cases we are dealing only with the most elementary aspects of the subject. In this series we hope that the varied needs of different students will be satisfied. Each of the four books is virtually independent of the others. We say virtually independent, since at the very least a grasp of the notion of function as it is developed in the early sections of Volume I is required for an intelligent appreciation of the other volumes. Thus each book could be the basis for a separate course. The exercises at the end of each section are graded from easy to difficult. In the latter exercises we sometimes assume results or procedures that are discussed in other books of the series. The student who has mastered the contents of these four books has laid a firm foundation for advanced work in many aspects of mathematics. We have also attempted to explain in sufficient detail those aspects of the subject that beginners usually find difficult. We have kept in mind that mathematics is more than just the formal manipulation of symbols. Thus we have endeavoured to motivate the student in order to build up his mathematical intuition. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Descripción de la tienda

For a good portion of the 1990's, our family was interested in the idea of entering the used book business. We are all avid readers, book lovers, and book collectors who cannot pass a bookstore without popping in. Family trips to the library and our local used bookstore were a regularity while growing up. With each of us having interests in different genres (with a little overlapping here and there), we cover a lot of bases. The thought of having a store of our own was appealing, and the hunt was on - both for stock and a location. We thought to combine under one roof many different things that would appeal to readers and book lovers. Not only used books, but some new items as well. Bookmarks (to ward off dog-eared pages), bookends (to keep those out-of-control collections under control), bookplates (to label books on the "Can I borrow that?" circuit to ensure that they always found their way home), book repair tape (to lend a helping hand to collectors with tattered favourites in their collections), and so on. With an interest in book-themed knick knacks as well, we had two sides to our would-be business: books and knick-knacks. Hence the business was born. In the early part of 1998 we bought a commercial property, and in the summer we first opened our doors in a storefront in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada. With start-up stock consisting of a garage full of books hand-picked for just such a venture that we purchased from someone who changed their plans, we were in business. For several years we operated in this storefront, growing our business and learning about the industry and the backbone of it - the customers. It was very satisfying to be present at the end of someone's book quest, as we were quite often. Many a time we heard shouts of joy from somewhere in the shop as customers happened upon just what they'd been looking for (oftentimes for quite a while). At other times, people would approach us with bits and pieces of information that they remembered from long ago favourites in hopes that we could at least help them come up with an author or title to help in their search, which we often times did, with the book in hand. And when we couldn't come up with anything on our own, we would pick the brains of other customers in conversation, or turn to the internet for help for them. For us, quality and selection of stock go hand-in-hand with customer service. One isn't much good without the other. But times, people, places, and lives change and after several years in our storefront we made a change of our own - in 2004 we relocated to the internet. Now a home-based business in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, we are gradually bringing our inventory online here. We carry used paperbacks, hardbacks, and magazines for both adults and children. We have thousands upon thousands of books that are not yet listed for sale on the internet, but are gradually making their way there.
