Mathematical Analysis in Engineering: How to Use the Basic Tools

Mathematical Analysis in EngineeringHow to Use the Basic Tools\nAuthor(s): Chiang C. Mei\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Cambridge University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Cambridge University Press\nISBN-13: 9780521587983, 978-0521587983\nSynopsis\nThis user-friendly 1995 text shows how to use mathematics to formulate, solve and analyse physical problems. Rather than follow the traditional approach of stating mathematical principles and then citing some physical examples for illustration, the book puts applications at centre stage; that is, it starts with the problem, finds the mathematics that suits it and ends with a mathematical analysis of the physics. Physical examples are selected primarily from applied mechanics. Among topics included are Fourier series, separation of variables, Bessel functions, Fourier and Laplace transforms, Green's functions and complex function theories. Also covered are advanced topics such as RiemannHilbert techniques, perturbation methods, and practi.
