This book was a drag. Well, the subject can be a drag, and this book did an adequate job of presenting the material.

One of the best books I ever read. The presentation of the book is awesome and every chapter has the following:
Motivation: why anyone should understand this subject
Mathematical background
Scope and preview of each chapter
Goals and objectives

I purchased this book for my post graduation mathematics subject.

I think this is how each book should be written and this is how subjects are to be taught.

I haven't read the whole thing, but about 80% of it. The part relevant to the course anyway.

The platonic ideal an applied mathematics textbook: really clearly written, really relevant, really illuminating. I went from having no idea of how to solve problems in science and engineering with no analytic (long-hand) solutions, to having a sound grounding in computer-assisted methods for differential calculus, integral calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, as well as linear, polynomial, and exponential regression. For most engineering students enrolled in a numerical methods, Chapra's text is the clear choice.

Overall its a good textbook, but it contains several numerical methods that have been built into $20 non-programmable calculators.

buku yang bagus, meskipun contoh-contoh pemodelan dan aplikasi nya masih terasa minim, tapi secara keseluruhan bagus...
