About the Authors

Bernard Kolman

Bernard Kolman received his B.S. (summa cum laude with honors in mathematics and physics) from Brooklyn College in 1954, his Sc.M. from Brown University in 1956, and his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1965, all in mathematics. During the summers of 1955 and 1956, he worked as a mathematician for the U.S. Navy, and IBM, respectively, in areas of numerical analysis and simulation. From 1957-1964, he was employed by the UNIVAC Division of Sperry Rand Corporation, working in the areas of operations research, numerical analysis, and discrete mathematics. He has also had extensive experience as a consultant to industry in operations research. From 1964-1998, he was a member of the Mathematics Department at Drexel University, where he also served as Acting Head of this department. Since 1964, his research activities have been in the areas of Lie algebras and operations research.

Professor Kolman is the author of numerous papers, primarily in Lie algebras, and has organized several conferences in this area. He is also well known as the author of many mathematics textbooks that are used worldwide and have been translated into other languages. He belongs to a number of professional associations and is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Pi Mu Epsilon, and Sigma

Arnold Shapiro

Arnold Shapiro spent the bulk of his working career in industry, where he was involved in the earliest efforts to utilize mathematical modeling in the solution of problems in Operations Research. He then "retired" into teaching mathematics at Drexel University and computer science at Temple University.

Description

THIS EDITION WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR THE FALL 2011 SEMESTER.

This fifth edition of {Title} maintains our objective of providing a textbook designed for use by the student. We have adopted an informal, supportive style to encourage the student to read the book and to develop confidence under its guidance. We introduce concepts first by example with accompanying diagrams and illustrations that bolster the "reasonableness" of the resulting rules. We immediately reinforce every new mathematical technique or result with fully worked-out examples and captions for clarification. After each example, the student is presented with the opportunity to tackle a parallel problem, called a Progress Check, with the answer following it in the text.
