Analytical and Computational Methods of Advanced Engineering Mathematics (1998)Hardcover - 1998, 25 September 1998

This is a readable, innovative textbook of mathematical methods for undergraduate engineering and science students. The text is designed for a one-year course and is centered around the topics which form the essentials of engineering mathematics: ordinary differential equations, vector calculus, linear algebra, and partial differential equations. Ordinary differential equations are developed in a setting found suitable for scientists and engineers. Linear algebra, in particular, is a strong point of the book. The authors use a practical approach based upon solving equations, and all ideas are introduced from this basic viewpoint. Partial differential equations are introduced in the context of physical problems, rather than in an abstract setting. Emphasis is on the solution of an extensive and varied number of real-world problems, each treated completely and in sufficient depth to be self-contained. Advanced Engineering Mathematics is based on the authors' 25 years of university experience in teaching engineering mathematics.
