This textbook gives a unified treatment of the solution of various linear equations that arise in science and engineering with examples. It is based on a course taught by the first author for over thirty years. Some unique features include: • Use of symbolic software for illustrating and enhancing the impact of physical parameter changes on solutions. • Multi-scale analysis of engineering problems with physical interpretation of time and length scales in terms of eigenvalues and eigenvectors/eigenfunctions. • Discussion of compartment models for various finite dimensional problems. • Evaluation and illustration of functions of matrices (and use of symbolic manipulation) to solve multi-component diffusion-convection-reaction problems. • Illustration of the techniques and interpretation of solutions to several classical engineering problems. • Emphasis on the connection between discrete (matrix algebra) and continuum. • Physical interpretation of adjoint operator and adjoint systems. • Use of complex analysis and algebra in the solution of practical engineering problems. • Includes 100 illustrative problems in the text. • Additional 150 practice problems along with solutions. • Use of symbolic manipulators (such as Mathematica) and generation of graphics. • Various web based extensions.
