Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Forms: A Unified Approach, 2/e

For an undergraduate course in Vector or Multivariable Calculus for math, engineering, and science majors.

Using a dual presentation that is rigorous and comprehensive—yet exceptionally student-friendly in approach—this text covers most of the standard topics in multivariate calculus and part of a standard first course in linear algebra. It focuses in underlying ideas, integrates theory and applications, offers a host of pedagogical aids, features coverage of differential forms and emphasizes numerical methods to prepare students for modern applications of mathematics.

Maple 10, 1/e

Maple 10 is a computer algebra system available from Maplesoft capable of performing mathematical calculations as well as programming, and 2-D and 3-D visualizations. Maple 10 offers full computing support for any activity involving mathematics, including numerical computation, symbolic computation, data visualization and technical authoring of mathematical documents.

Students can enter and solve problems interactively, see what they have entered represented graphically, link their work to Excel spreadsheets, publish to the web in Maple applets and Java applets, and much more.

The Maple 10 Student Edition CD is only £10 when bundled with any Pearson maths title.  If the student were to purchase Maple through Maplesoft, the price would be £80
