The topics of this set of student-oriented books are presented in a discursive style that is readable and easy to follow. Numerous clearly stated, completely worked out examples together with carefully selected problem sets with answers are used to enhance students' understanding and manipulative skill. The goal is to help students feel comfortable and confident in using advanced mathematical tools in junior, senior, and beginning graduate courses.
"Intended for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in chemistry, physics, math and engineering, this book will also become a must-have for the personal library of all advanced students in the physical sciences.
Pedagogical insights gained through 30 years of teaching applied mathematics led the author to write this set of student-oriented books.
Geared toward undergraduates in the physical sciences, this text offers a very useful review of mathematical methods that students will employ throughout their education and beyond. Includes problems, answers. 1973 edition.
"This self-study text for practicing engineers and scientists explains the mathematical tools that are required for advanced technological applications, but are often not covered in undergraduate school.
5.40 Laguerre polynomials L.,(x) of degree n satisfy the difference equation (n + 1)L, 1(x) – (2n + 1 − x)L(x) + n L, 1(x) = 0. Show that there is a solution to this difference equation satisfying L,(x) → [F(x)/n"] cos(2\/nx – #t) (n ...
This book collects chapters dealing with some of the theoretical aspects needed to properly discuss the dynamics of complex engineering systems.
Appropriate for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in a variety of scientific and engineering fields, this text introduces linear and nonlinear problems and their associated models.
Pedagogical insights gained through 30 years of teaching applied mathematics led the author to write this set of student oriented books.
In this edition, half of the exercises are provided with hints and answers and, in a separate manual available to both students and their teachers, complete worked solutions.
Throughout the book, numerous examples and exercises reinforcethe presented concepts and techniques. In addition, the book is ina modular format, so each chapter covers its subject thoroughly andcan be read independently.
