Overview
Covers applicable mathematics that should provide a text, at the third year level and beyond, appropriate for both students of engineering and the pure sciences. The book is a product of close collaboration between two mathematicians and an engineer and it is of note that the engineer has been helpful in pinpointing the problems engineering students usually encounter in books written by mathematicians. Instead of just listing techniques and a few examples, or providing a list of theorems along with their proofs, it explains why the techniques work. The emphasis is on helping the student develop an understanding of mathematics and its applications."...the collaborative effort of two mathematicians & an engineer, this text not only provides theorems, proofs & examples, but also techniques on how to apply these concepts properly, and why they work."

A text for students in engineering and the pure sciences at the third- year level and beyond. Emphasis is on helping the student develop an understanding of mathematics and its applications, with explanations of why mathematical techniques work. After a review of freshman and sophomore calculus and ordinary differential equations, coverage includes series solutions of differential equations, complex variables, vector and tensor analysis, partial differential equations, numerical methods, finite difference and finite element techniques, and calculus of variation. A chapter on special topics briefly discusses areas such as phase space and Brownian motion. Includes worked examples, problems, and answers. There is more material than can be covered in a one-semester course. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
