GENERAL REVISIONS AND OVERALL DESIGN
- We have edited the prose so that it is even more clear and concise.
- Strategic use of color has been implemented within the new design to help
the visual learner. - Added color in the solutions highlights key steps and improves readability.
- We have updated much of the data and graphs and have added scaling to all
axes in all graphs. - We have added more real-world applications.
- We have included more problem-specific photographs and improved the
clarity of the illustrations.
