Acknowledgement

The authors would like to thank all those who have contributed to the development of this text. This includes their outstanding staff of TA's, who have not only provided numerous suggestions and revisions, but also played a critical role in the success of the first-year engineering math program at Wright State University. The authors would also like to thank their many colleagues and collaborators who have joined in their nationwide quest to change the way math is taught to engineers. Special thanks goes to Jennifer Serres, Werner Klingbeil and Scott Molitor, who have contributed a variety of worked examples and homework problems from their own engineering disciplines. Thanks also to Josh Deaton, who has provided detailed solutions to all end-of-chapter problems. Finally, the authors would like to thank their wives and families, whose unending patience and support have made this effort possible.
