Applied Mathematics Lecture Notes

Peter J. Olver

Last Updated:    May 7, 2007

Note: The first 11 chapters, including the exercises, are now published as a self-contained textbook, Applied Linear Algebra, coauthored with Chehrzad Shakiban. By popular demand, the later chapters are again available on-line. Thanks to everyone for their encouraging feedback and comments. Stay tuned for further updates on the eventual publication of the full Applied Mathematics text.

Coming soon: Lecture Notes on Partial Differential Equations.
