This book provides a clear and easy-to-understand introduction to higher mathematics with numerous examples. The author shows how to solve typical problems in a recipe-like manner and divides the material into short, easily digestible learning units.Have you ever cooked a 3-course meal based on a recipe? That generally works quite well, even if you are not a great cook. What does this have to do with mathematics? Well, you can solve a lot of math problems recipe-wise: Need to solve a Riccati's differential equation or the singular value decomposition of a matrix? Look it up in this book, you'll find a recipe for it here. Recipes are available for problems from the field of:· Calculus in one and more variables,· Linear algebra,· Vector analysis,· Theory on differential equations, ordinary and partial,· Theory of integral transformations,· Function theory.Other features of this book include:· The division of Higher Mathematics into approximately 100 chapters of roughly equal length. Each chapter covers approximately the material of a 90-minute lecture.· Numerous exercises and solutions· Many problems in higher mathematics can be solved with computers. We always indicate how it works with MATLAB®.This 2nd English edition has been completely revised and numerous examples, illustrations, explanations and further exercises have been added.
