Mathematics/Statistics and Probability The Probability Tutoring Book Revised Printing An Intuitive Course for Engineers and Scientists (and everyone else!) Thousands of engineers and students have used and praised The Calculus Tutoring Book by Bob and Carol Ash. In fact, it is the most successful IEEE Press Book published in the last ten years. Now, Carol Ash lends the intuitive approach and practical examples of The Calculus Tutoring Book to the applied mathematics course most commonly taught within engineering departments! Key Features Include: * Carefully chosen, engineer-sensitive problems that give students immediate practice on the rules presented * Worked-out solutions that let students know exactly how they get the answer * Important topics from calculus are covered - providing just the right amount of review material students may need to continue * Warnings that prevent students from making the various common mistakes collected by the author over the years Also Available from IEEE Press ... The Calculus Tutoring Book by Carol Ash and Robert B. Ash, University of Illinois "...succeeds nicely as a supplement to standard textbooks and a vehicle for self-study: the text is clear and easy to read, topics are motivated by their applications, and examples are worked in detail." -Science Books and Films This book fills an educational void by adapting unique classroom-tested techniques that students find most congenial...that strip the shroud of mystery from an "esoteric" subject...that prepare students for applications of calculus in later courses. 1986 544 pp hardcover IEEE order no.

Ash, University of Illinois Designed specifically as a first course in real analysis, this book covers all standard material needed for successful work in measure theory, differential equations, functional analysis, and probability. The book emphasizes learning fundamentals through concrete, understandable language and exercises that stress key concepts. In addition, Real Variables features detailed calculations involving algebraic manipulation, definitions that can be easily applied to explicit examples, and solutions to all exercises. 1993 232 pp hardcover IEEE order no.
