This book is primarily about the principles that one uses to solve problems in applied mathematics. It is written for beginning graduate students in applied mathematics, science, and engineering, and is appropriate as a one-year course in applied mathematical techniques.
This book is written for beginning graduate students in applied mathematics, science, and engineering, and is appropriate as a one-year course in applied mathematical techniques (although I have never been able to cover all of this material in one year). We assume that the students have studied at an introductory undergraduate level material on linear algebra, ordinary and partial differential equations, and complex variables. The emphasis of the book is a working, systematic understanding of classical techniques in a modern context. Along the way, students are exposed to models from a variety of disciplines. It is hoped that this course will prepare students for further study of modern techniques and in-depth modeling in their own specific discipline.
"Principles of Applied Mathematics" provides a comprehensive look at how classical methods are used in many fields and contexts. Updated to reflect developments of the last twenty years, it shows how two areas of classical applied mathematics--spectral theory of operators and asymptotic analysis--are useful for solving a wide range of applied science problems. Topics such as asymptotic expansions, inverse scattering theory, and perturbation methods are combined in a unified way with classical theory of linear operators. Several new topics, including wavelength analysis, multigrid methods, and homogenization theory, are blended into this mix to amplify this theme.This book is ideal as a survey course for graduate students in applied mathematics and theoretically oriented engineering and science students. This most recent edition, for the first time, now includes extensive corrections collated and collected by the author.
How do biological objects communicate, make structures, make measurements and decisions, search for food, i.e., do all the things necessary for survival? Designed for an advanced undergraduate audience, this book uses mathematics to begin to tell that story. It builds on a background in multivariable calculus, ordinary differential equations, and basic stochastic processes and uses partial differential equations as the framework within which to explore these questions.
