Perturbation Methods in Science and Engineering provides the
fundamental and advanced topics in perturbation methods in science and
engineering, from an application viewpoint. This book bridges the gap
between theory and applications, in new as well as classical problems.
The engineers and graduate students who read this book will be able to
apply their knowledge to a wide range of applications in different
engineering disciplines. The book begins with a clear description on
limits of mathematics in providing exact solutions and goes on to show
how pioneers attempted to search for approximate solutions of unsolvable
problems. Through examination of special applications and highlighting
many different aspects of science, this text provides an excellent
insight into perturbation methods without restricting itself to a
particular method. This book is ideal for graduate students in
engineering, mathematics, and physical sciences, as well as researchers
in dynamic systems.
