Both classical and neo-classical applications of calculus of deformable material bodies are utilized to formulate and to solve a variety of engineering and bio-mathematical problems. The results should help discern various balance and equations of state formulations when combined with experimental validation. The presented calculus has an evolutionary perspective of addressing change, as well as accumulated change in a unified manner to better understand motions and memory described through both quantification and computation. Several original contributions are made on reactive power law fluid flows, on lubrication, on acoustic horn shapes, on dielectric relaxation, as well as on peristaltic pumping. Moreover, new perspectives are given for dissipation contributions in energetics of the motions.
Additional Editors Are John Von Neumann, Hassler Whitney, And Oscar Zariski.
Need to understand Calculus in a hurry? Tired of wading through hundreds of pages of techno-jargon? "Now 2 kNOW Calculus 1" explains the concepts of functions, limits, derivatives, and integrals in a concise and thorough format including logarithms, exponentials, and hyperbolic trig functions. Easy look-up tables, tons of examples, and over 200 problems with worked out solutions will have you up and running in no time.
"The binomial theorem is usually quite rightly considered as one of the most important theorems in the whole of analysis." Thus wrote Bernard Bolzano in 1816 in introducing the first correct proof of Newton's generalisation of a century and a half earlier of a result familiar to us all from elementary algebra. Bolzano's appraisal may surprise the modern reader familiar only with the finite algebraic version of the Binomial Theorem involving positive integral exponents, and may also appear incongruous to one familiar with Newton's series for rational exponents. Yet his statement was a sound judgment back in the day. Here the story of the Binomial Theorem is presented in all its glory, from the early days in India, the Moslem world, and China as an essential tool for root extraction, through Newton's generalisation and its central role in infinite series expansions in the 17th and 18th centuries, and to its rigorous foundation in the 19th. The exposition is well-organised and fairly complete with all the necessary details, yet still readable and understandable for those with a limited mathematical background, say at the Calculus level or just below that. The present book, with its many citations from the literature, will be of interest to anyone concerned with the history or foundations of mathematics.
This book is for math teachers and professors who need a handy calculus reference book, for college students who need to master the essential calculus concepts and skills, and for AP Calculus students who want to pass the exam with a perfect score. Calculus can not be made easy, but it can be made simple. This book is concise, but the scope of the contents is not. To solve calculus problems, you need strong math skills. The only way to build these skills is through practice. To practice, you need this book.
Twenty Key Ideas in Beginning Calculus is a color 174 page book written by a high school mathematics teacher who learned how to sequence and present ideas over a 30-year career of teaching grade school mathematics. It is intended to serve as a bridge for beginning calculus students to study independently in preparation for a traditional calculus curriculum or as supplemental material for students who are currently in a calculus class. It is highly visual with 40 supportive images, 100+ cartoons and other illustrations, 110 graphs, and 40+ data tables spread throughout its 174 pages. Comprehension and understanding of ideas is emphasized over symbol manipulation although the latter is covered. The main text, Chapters 1-14, teaches "intuitive calculus," while the appendices contain "traditional calculus" proofs allowing the reader to customize their learning experience according to their ability and interest for rigor. When appropriate, the reader is referred to correlative interactive applets that can be used to supplement the text.
2013 Reprint of 1949 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Francis Begnaud Hildebrand (1915-2002) was an American mathematician. He was a Professor of mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) from 1940 until 1984. Hildebrand was known for his many influential textbooks in mathematics and numerical analysis. The big green textbook from these classes (originally "Advanced Calculus for Engineers," later "Advanced Calculus for Applications") was a fixture in engineers' offices for decades.
This book is based on Professor Williamson's twenty-six years of teaching calculus at the University of California, San Diego. It is a revised and updated version of a "tutors' guide" that he handed out to students wanting to tutor for his classes in integral calculus. Mostly, these tutors were a great help. But when they made mistakes in explaining technique or concept, these mistakes were hard to detect and rectify before the final exam. Tutoring Integral Calculus covers and hopefully rectifies the most common sources of tutoring difficulties.

The regularity theory of free boundaries flourished during the late 1970s and early 1980s and had a major impact in several areas of mathematics, mathematical physics, and industrial mathematics, as well as in applications. Since then the theory continued to evolve. Numerous new ideas, techniques, and methods have been developed, and challenging new problems in applications have arisen. The main intention of the authors of this book is to give a coherent introduction to the study of the regularity properties of free boundaries for a particular type of problems, known as obstacle-type problems. The emphasis is on the methods developed in the past two decades. The topics include optimal regularity, nondegeneracy, rescalings and blowups, classification of global solutions, several types of monotonicity formulas, Lipschitz, $C^1$, as well as higher regularity of the free boundary, structure of the singular set, touch of the free and fixed boundaries, and more. The book is based on lecture notes for the courses and mini-courses given by the authors at various locations and should be accessible to advanced graduate students and researchers in analysis and partial differential equations.
This book contains an easytofollow essence of non-linearity, chaos and complexity methods for modelling complex dynamical systems, extracted from our seven graduate-level monographs. Topics discussed include the basics of non-linear and chaotic dynamics; chaos in continuous and discrete dynamics; non-linear complexity in neurodynamics and cancer dynamics; non-linear complexity in injury dynamics; non-linear complexity in crowd dynamics and spatio-temporal complexity.
Understanding Calculus with ClassPad illustrates the basic concepts of calculus in a series of worked examples using the ClassPad Calculator. By following the examples in this book, the reader will gain an appreciation of how to use ClassPad to enhance his knowledge of the mathematics, rather than to use a calculator just to do the mathematics for him.
Complex Proofs of Real Theorems is an extended meditation on Hadamard's famous dictum, ""The shortest and best way between two truths of the real domain often passes through the imaginary one.'' Directed at an audience acquainted with analysis at the first year graduate level, it aims at illustrating how complex variables can be used to provide quick and efficient proofs of a wide variety of important results in such areas of analysis as approximation theory, operator theory, harmonic analysis, and complex dynamics. Topics discussed include weighted approximation on the line, Muntz's theorem, Toeplitz operators, Beurling's theorem on the invariant spaces of the shift operator, prediction theory, the Riesz convexity theorem, the Paley-Wiener theorem, the Titchmarsh convolution theorem, the Gleason-Kahane-Zelazko theorem, and the Fatou-Julia-Baker theorem. The discussion begins with the world's shortest proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra and concludes with Newman's almost effortless proof of the prime number theorem. Four brief appendices provide all necessary background in complex analysis beyond the standard first year graduate course. Lovers of analysis and beautiful proofs will read and reread this slim volume with pleasure and profit.

Calculus And Graphs: Simplified For A First Brief Course
This classic monograph is the work of a prominent contributor to
the field of harmonic analysis. Geared toward advanced
undergraduates and graduate students, it focuses on methods related
to Gelfand's theory of Banach algebra. Prerequisites include a
knowledge of the concepts of elementary modern algebra and of
metric space topology.
Teachers know the difficulties in motivating many students to develop the habits of mind and critical thinking skills necessary to thoroughly understand the concepts of calculus. The purpose of this book is to use Geometry Expressions software in order to facilitate and enhance the calculus syllabus by allowing students to ground calculus concepts in a geometric way. The 29 student explorations in this book cover the major topics of a standard course of calculus, and are completed with the help of the constraint-based dynamic software package, Geometry Expressions. Using Geometry Expressions in learning calculus, students have the opportunity to develop general investigation skills, make connections between geometric and algebraic representations of major calculus ideas, interpret analytic problems visually and geometric problems algebraically, and develop facility with using a computer to prove general mathematics statements. Geometry Expressions enables more extensive calculus investigation than is possible in a traditional course of calculus. Open-ended explorations and investigations reinforce students' intellectual development. Students appreciate challenges and enjoy taking ownership in the problem solving process. This book, together with Geometry Expressions enables the student to do just that.
Assuming no further prerequisites than a first undergraduate course
in real analysis, this concise introduction covers general
elementary theory related to orthogonal polynomials. It includes
necessary background material of the type not usually found in the
standard mathematics curriculum. Suitable for advanced
undergraduate and graduate courses, it is also appropriate for
independent study. |
