An innovative treatment of mathematical methods for a
multidisciplinary audience Clearly and elegantly presented,
Mathematical Methods in Science and Engineering provides a coherent
treatment of mathematical methods, bringing advanced mathematical tools
to a multidisciplinary audience. The growing interest in
interdisciplinary studies has brought scientists from many disciplines
such as physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, economics, and finance
together, which has increased the demand for courses in upper-level
mathematical techniques. This book succeeds in not only being tuned in
to the existing practical needs of this multidisciplinary audience, but
also plays a role in the development of new interdisciplinary science by
introducing new techniques to students and researchers. Mathematical
Methods in Science and Engineering's modular structure affords
instructors enough flexibility to use this book for several different
advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses. Each chapter serves
as a review of its subject and can be read independently, thus it also
serves as a valuable reference and refresher for scientists and
beginning researchers. There are a growing number of research areas in
applied sciences, such as earthquakes, rupture, financial markets, and
crashes, that employ the techniques of fractional calculus and path
integrals. The book's two unique chapters on these subjects, written in a
style that makes these advanced techniques accessible to a
multidisciplinary audience, are an indispensable tool for researchers
and instructors who want to add something new to their compulsory
courses. Mathematical Methods in Science and Engineering includes: *
Comprehensive chapters on coordinates and tensors and on continuous
groups and their representations * An emphasis on physical motivation
and the multidisciplinary nature of the methods discussed * A coherent
treatment of carefully selected topics in a style that makes advanced
mathematical tools accessible to a multidisciplinary audience *
Exercises at the end of every chapter and plentiful examples throughout
the book Mathematical Methods in Science and Engineering is not only
appropriate as a text for advanced undergraduate and graduate physics
programs, but is also appropriate for engineering science and mechanical
engineering departments due to its unique chapter coverage and easily
accessible style. Readers are expected to be familiar with topics
typically covered in the first three years of science and engineering
undergraduate programs. Thoroughly class-tested, this book has been used
in classes by more than 1,000 students over the past eighteen years.
