Mathematics for Agricultural and Life Sciences - Principles of Calculus with Solved Problems (Hardcover): Claudio Caprara Mathematics for Agricultural and Life Sciences - Principles of Calculus with Solved Problems (Hardcover)

One of the difficulties that arise in teaching mathematics is related to the identification of the target and the most appropriate teaching methods for the people who are part of it. This aspect, true for all disciplines, applies to mathematics in particular. In fact, for example, an axiomatic approach is certainly suitable for Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, while students of many applied sciences, such as Agricultural and Life Sciences, need to focus on calculation tools and methodologies useful for their professional development rather than in dealing with the theoretical foundations of mathematics. The peculiarity of this book is not so much in setting classical approach "Theorem: Hypothesis, Thesis" with relative proofs, but in adopting a more pragmatic approach that renounce classical demonstrations, while maintaining a formal coherence in the topics dealt with. In this perspective, considering the approach required by the target to which it is addressed, the objective of this book is to provide methods to studying the variation of a phenomenon and its cumulative effects and consequently the study of the functions and the calculation of integrals respectively. One of the qualifying features is given by a series of completely resolved problems, occupying two-thirds of the volume, in which each mathematical step is detailed to understand "step by step" how to obtain the solution.

R1,214 Discovery Miles 12 140 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This first-year calculus book is centered around the use of infinitesimals, an approach largely neglected until recently for reasons of mathematical rigor. It exposes students to the intuition that originally led to the calculus, simplifying their grasp of the central concepts of derivatives and integrals. The author also teaches the traditional approach, giving students the benefits of both methods.
Chapters 1 through 4 employ infinitesimals to quickly develop the basic concepts of derivatives, continuity, and integrals. Chapter 5 introduces the traditional limit concept, using approximation problems as the motivation. Later chapters develop transcendental functions, series, vectors, partial derivatives, and multiple integrals. The theory differs from traditional courses, but the notation and methods for solving practical problems are the same. The text suggests a variety of applications to both natural and social sciences.

Classical mechanics, one of the oldest branches of science, has undergone a long evolution, developing hand in hand with many areas of mathematics, including calculus, differential geometry, and the theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras. The modern formulations of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, in the coordinate-free language of differential geometry, are elegant and general. They provide a unifying framework for many seemingly disparate physical systems, such as n-particle systems, rigid bodies, fluids and other continua, and electromagnetic and quantum systems.
Geometric Mechanics and Symmetry is a friendly and fast-paced introduction to the geometric approach to classical mechanics, suitable for a one- or two- semester course for beginning graduate students or advanced undergraduates. It fills a gap between traditional classical mechanics texts and advanced modern mathematical treatments of the subject. After a summary of the necessary elements of calculus on smooth manifolds and basic Lie group theory, the main body of the text considers how symmetry reduction of Hamilton's principle allows one to derive and analyze the Euler-Poincare equations for dynamics on Lie groups.
Additional topics deal with rigid and pseudo-rigid bodies, the heavy top, shallow water waves, geophysical fluid dynamics and computational anatomy. The text ends with a discussion of the semidirect-product Euler-Poincare reduction theorem for ideal fluid dynamics.
A variety of examples and figures illustrate the material, while the many exercises, both solved and unsolved, make the book a valuable class text."

The development of many important directions of mathematics and physics owes a major debt to the concepts and methods which evolved during the investigation of such simple objects as the Sturm-Liouville equation 2 2 y" ] q(x)y = zy and the allied Sturm-Liouville operator L = - d /dx + q(x) (lately Land q(x) are often termed the one-dimensional Schroedinger operator and the potential). These provided a constant source of new ideas and problems in the spectral theory of operators and kindred areas of analysis. This sourse goes back to the first studies of D. Bernoulli and L. Euler on the solution of the equation describing the vibrations of astring, and still remains productive after more than two hundred years. This is confirmed by the recent discovery, made by C. Gardner, J. Green, M. Kruskal, and R. Miura [6J, of an unexpected connection between the spectral theory of Sturm-Liouville operators and certain nonlinear partial differential evolution equations. The methods used (and often invented) during the study of the Sturm-Liouville equation have been constantly enriched. In the 40's a new investigation tool joined the arsenal - that of transformation operators.

The conference is now over and enough time has passed for us to realize that the concensus of opinion of the participants is that it was indeed a successful and fruitful conference. This conference showed just how wide spread are the ideas of Otto Toeplitz, and how strong an influence his work has. The majority of participants contributed papers for this volume, which will help to bring to this interesting conference a wider audience. About the background and organization of the conference, the reader can learn from the opening address, which is included in place of an introduction. In my opinion this volume would be of interest to a wide public; experts in pure and applied mathematics as well as persons interested in the history of mathematics. The papers are divided into two sections. The first section is given to research papers, and the second to memorial papers. We are indebted to Professor G. K8the who allowed us to publish in the section of memorial papers the translation into English of his talk, given at a Colloquium in honour of Otto Toeplitz in Bonn. During the preparation of this volume great assistance was extended to us by Dr. Uri Toeplitz and Mrs. G. Riesel to whom I would like to express my sincere gratitude. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all persons and organizations who helped to make this conference such a success, and also Birkhauser Verlag for publishing this volume of the Proceedings.

Der Autor beabsichtigt, mit dem vorliegenden Lehrbuch eine grundliche Einfuhrung in die Theorie der konvexen Mengen und der konvexen Funk- tionen zu geben. Das Buch ist aus einer Folge von drei in den Jahren 1971 bis 1973 an der Eidgenoessischen Technischen Hochschule in Zurich gehaltenen Vorlesungen hervorgegangen. Es erlautert die verschiedenen, fur viele Sparten der Analysis, der angewandten Mathematik und der mathematischen OEkonomie relevanten Aspekte der Konvexitat. Die konvexe Analysis ist, wie die lineare Algebra, ein Gebiet der Mathematik, welches neben der analytischen Beschreib- und Beweisbarkeit oft auch eine hohe geometrische Anschaulichkeit besitzt. Fast die meisten der hier be- schriebenen Ergebnisse uber konvexe Mengen und Funktionen gehoeren offen- sichtlich der reinen Mathematik an. Es ist aber auffallend, wie haufig diese Ergebnisse die Gundiage, nicht nur von Teilen der hoeheren Analysis, sondern auch von Theorien und Methoden der angewandten Mathematik bilden. Einiges Gewicht wird deshalb in diesem Lehrbuch darauf gelegt, zu zeigen, wie die Resultate ausserhalb des Gebietes Anwendung finden, z. B. in der reinen Mathematik bei Existenzsatzen fur lineare und nichtlineare Differential-oder Integralgleichungen, in der angewandten Mathematik fur die Approximations- theorie oder in der mathematischen OEkonomie fur Existenzaussagen uber Minima konvexer Funktionen und uber Loesungen von Systemen von Ungleichungen. Um die Allgemeingultigkeit vieler fundamentaler Resultate nicht zu schmalern, wurde darauf geachtet, die entsprechenden Voraus- setzungen an die Topologie und Strukturen der Raume so schwach wie moeglich zu halten.

Alle Einsender haben es versaumt zu erklaren, wie so zahlreiche richtige Lehrsatze aus einer widerspruchsvollen Voraussetzung her- geleitet werden koennen, wie es die einer unendlichen Groesse ist. Alle haben sie mehr oder weniger die erforderten [Qualitaten der] Ein- fachheit und Klarheit und uber allem der Strenge ausser acht ge- lassen. Die meisten von ihnen haben nicht einmal gesehen, dass das gesuchte Prinzip nicht auf den Infinitesimalkalkul beschrankt sein sollte, sondern auf Algebra und auf Geometrie, wie sie in der Weise der Alten gehandhabt wird, auszudehnen war. Nach Ansicht der Akademie ist daher die Frage nicht in vollem Umfang geloest. 2 Heute, im Abstand von zwei Jahrhunderten sehen wir, dass diese Preisaufgabe der Akademie die Qualitat einer Forschungsaufgabe fur viele Generationen hatte - und dass sie nach den Massstaben der Akademie bis auf den heutigen Tag nicht geloest ist - vielleicht, weil sie in dieser Form tatsachlich unloesbar ist. Gefragt wurde nach einem einzigen Mathematischen Prinzip des Unendlichen, welches, ohne widerspruchsvoll zu sein, hinreicht, samtliche wahren mathema- tischen Lehrsatze in einfacher, klarer und strenger Weise zu deduzieren - und zwar in allen mathematischen Gebieten (ausdrucklich genannt wurden neben der Infinitesimalrechnung die Geometrie und die Algebra). In heutiger Sicht unerfullbar scheint jedenfalls die Forderung der Einzigkeit; Es ist bisher nicht zu sehen, wie ein einziges solches Prinzip fur die gesamte Mathematik formulierbar sein koennte. Die Entwicklung der Geometrie im fruhen 19. Jahrhundert verlief noch am ehesten in den von der Preisaufgabe gewunschten Bahnen.

There is a resurgence of applications in which the calculus of variations has direct relevance. In addition to application to solid mechanics and dynamics, it is now being applied in a variety of numerical methods, numerical grid generation, modern physics, various optimization settings and fluid dynamics. Many applications, such as nonlinear optimal control theory applied to continuous systems, have only recently become tractable computationally, with the advent of advanced algorithms and large computer systems. This book reflects the strong connection between calculus of variations and the applications for which variational methods form the fundamental foundation. The mathematical fundamentals of calculus of variations (at least those necessary to pursue applications) is rather compact and is contained in a single chapter of the book. The majority of the text consists of applications of variational calculus for a variety of fields.
