Inexpensive complete mathematical reference book.......2007-01-09

This is a great concise mathematical reference manual at a great price. I started using this book for reference to complex integrals in graduate school and have sinced used it as my primary mathematical reference sources for all the basic mathematical equations I learned while earning my engineering degree. I recommend it to my students (I teach at a university now) and frequently give it as a gift to graduating high school students (relatives and such) planning to pursue math or engineering related degrees in college. Note that it is a true reference manual and one needs to know how to use the equations in the first place in order to use the book. In many cases this requires coursework except for simple topics like equations for areas of different shapes, etc.

A good overview but a little too broad in scope.......2006-06-06

This outline covers just about all of the applied mathematics that upper level undergraduate and graduate engineers need to know to solve problems. It is a great reference, but its scope is so broad that you really can't use it for anything other than review. The author apparently recognizes that an outline this broad in scope cannot be that instructive either, and limits the introductory portion of each chapter to relevant tables and equations that an engineer/scientist must know to work problems. It is assumed you have other books to function as detailed tutorials. I have to say that the differential equations portions of this outline were far superior to the individual Schaum's outlines for those subjects. Also, the Fourier series and Fourier integral chapters were a bit too theoretical for most engineers, as many of the problems involved proofs or demonstrating properties rather than using the theory to solve problems. However, most chapters have a good mix of exercises - a few proofs, straight numerical problems, and applied exercises such as problems on circuit analysis, for example.

If you need a broad overview of the mathematics that an engineer must know from a problem-solving perspective, with small lessons on each topic, might I also suggest "Engineering Mathematics" and "Advanced Engineering Mathematics" by Stroud. Both of those books lead you by the hand and cover everything from high school through graduate school-level mathematics from an engineer's perspective. This outline would go great with those two books, as this outline can serve as a test of your comprehension of those two books by serving as a source of additional solved problems. I would suggest you get this book and keep it around as one of several good references on applied mathematics.

essential for any scientist.......2005-02-02

I bought this book for self study and it is amazing. For someone interested in furthering their mathematical knowledge and applying it to their research, it is a must have item. Especially because of its low price and the numerous solved exercises that one can follow and easily learn from. Covers everything from PDE's to conformal mapping and everything in between at an approachable level for non-mathematicians.

A good review of topics.......2002-08-26

This book goes through all the basics needed to master advanced mathematics. It covers differential equations; linear differential equations; Laplace transformations; vector analysis; multiple, line and surface integrals with the theorems; Fourier series and integrals; gamma and beta functions, Bessel functions, Legendre and othhogonal functions, partial differential equations, complex variables and conformal mapping, complex inversion formula (for Laplace transformations); and matrices. At the beginning is also a review of the basic terms and rules.

This is a good book to review to refresh your memory of what you studied in school. If you are in school now, this will be a good supplement. As with other books in this series, there are problems you can work to test your knowledge, but not all of them have the answers printed in the book. This is a little bothersome, but the book is still worth the investment.

Great SOLVED examples, although the scope may be too large.......1999-05-05

It's a perfect book for training and reference. Theory is very short, and instead, it contains a lot of examples with solutions. However, the field 'Advanced mathematics' is so wide, that presumably, a reader will only be interested in parts of it.

Book Description

For those who have a background in advanced calculus, elementary topology and functional analysis - from applied mathematicians and engineers to physicists - researchers and graduate students alike - this work provides a comprehensive analysis of the many important integral transforms and renders particular attention to all of the technical aspects of the subject. The author presents the last two decades of research and includes important results from other works.
With a description in Chapter 1 of foundational, topological information for the study of the distributions (generalized functions) and ultradistributions to be considered, including the structure of these distributions, the author then moves on to an analysis of the transforms and ends with a discussion of the eigenfunction expansion of generalized functions. Applications of the transforms to various mathematical, physical, and engineering problems are given, and open research problems present a challenge to the reader. An extensi

Laplace Transforms.......2007-05-12

I have several books on Laplace Transforms; but the Schaum's Outline by Murray Spiegel is particularly well done. The book is logically organized with many worked out examples. This is a classic overview of the Laplace Transform.

Not for us.......2007-05-01

Not for people who need a book on Laplace Transforms. Yes, lots of practice problems with answers. If you get lost and don't know how to go about a problem well page reference would have been nice.

Good overall coverage. nice explanations, and worked examples. id recommend it to anyone wanting to brush up on their transforms before an exam.

Laplace Transforms Explained in Plain English.......2005-09-23

This is a valuable reference to keep handy as a reminder about which transform methods best apply to various problems that you need to solve around the office.

It helped me through control systems.......2003-12-29

This book taught me both the basics and some of the finer points of LaPlace Transforms to get me past that hurdle so that I could begin focussing on the actual material presented in my BioControl Systems course. Many people got so caught up on the mathematics of LaPlace Transforms that they did not even get to the point where they could begin understanding control systems. I bought this book from Amazon at the beginning of the semester and it turned out to be a life-saver for me. I think that had I not sat down with this book for a weekend and taught myself LaPlace Transforms, I would have not passed that class.

Granted, this is a single case for a single class of a single bioengineering student; nevertheless, for my part I strongly recommend this book. I was put in a class where the teacher expected the students to have an understanding of the mathematics from the start. The majority of us didn't have that background, and this book clearly, simply, and without too much complication prepared me for my class which was exactly what I wanted it to do. It has been one of the best investments (as far as school books go) of my college career.

new chap 19 on numerical inverse laplace transforms.......2006-11-03

Chapter 19 is an excellent modern review of the main numerical inverse Laplace transform methods in use today. It does a good job of tying together many of the methods into a unifying theoretical light. Pretty much the only modern review out there, it was written by Dr John Knight, who is a co-author of one of the more important numerical inverse methods (Fourier series method of de Hoog, Knight & Stokes).

The rest of the book is great too.

Great Introduction.......2000-08-04

This well written book teaches by example and will quickly make you proficient in the subject. Davies uses complex analysis to approach the subject which provides a way to visualize the problems.

Book Description

In this rigorous and thorough analysis three concepts of heat conduction are studied: improved lumped-differential formulations, the generalized integral transform technique, and symbolic computation. Addressing problem formulation, solution methodology and computational implementation, the authors develop an improved lumped-differential formulation for heat conduction problems, present a unified hybrid numerical—analytical solution methodology for linear and nonlinear problems, and provide an introduction to mixed symbolic—numerical computation. Special topics and applications illustrate the theory, including extended surfaces, drying, ablation, conjugated problems and anisotropic media. Sample computer programs, using mixed symbolic—numerical computation, are presented in notebook format, developed within the Mathematica system.
