Summary

Successfully consolidates certain topics and eliminates unnecessary detail which can otherwise obscure basic concepts and applied principles. Organized so as to better delineate chapters which could be used for individual courses or as supplemental material for such courses, this text includes problems and review questions, chapter synopses and objectives, important formulas and concepts at the end of each chapter, and much more. Math applications will be better explained, too.
