* Matrix diagonalization has been moved from Ch. 10 to Ch. 3 and the treatment of tensors in Ch. 10 has been expanded.
* Ch. 3 also includes more detail on linear vector spaces. The discussion of basis function is continued in Ch. 7 (Fourier Series), Ch. 8 (Differential Equations), Ch. 12 (Series Solutions) , and Chapter 13 (Partial Differential Equations).
* Fourier integrals have been moved to Ch. 7 (Fourier Series). The Laplace transform and an expanded treatment of the Dirac delta function have been moved to Ch. 8 (Differential Equations).
* Throughout the book, the usefulness and also the pitfall of computer algebra systems are pointed out.
