Book Description
Solve real problems by finding out how they are transformed into mathematical models and learn the methods of solution. This book follows on from book A and covers classical mechanical models as well as some non-mechanical models such as Matrices and Eigenvectors; also homogeneous systems. To understand this book you will need a sound knowledge of mathematics. Chapters are:- Unit 4: Matrices and determinants, including simultaneous linear equations and properties of matrices. also covers polynomial interpolation. Unit 5: Eigenvalues and eigenvectors including iterative methods. Unit 6: Systems of linear differential equations. Unit 7: Functions of variables including Taylor polynomials and classification of stationary points
