This is a textbook for students in departments of Aerospace, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering, taking a course called Advanced Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Analysis, or Mathematics of Engineering. This text focuses on mathematical methods that are necessary for solving engineering problems. In addition to topics covered by competition, this book integrates the numerical computation programs MATLAB, Excel and Maple.

New to this edition:

• Introduction of Maple, MATLAB, or Excel into each section and into problem sets
• New chapter on wavelets added
