Advanced Engineering Mathematics

A textbook that provides an introduction to those branches of postcalculus mathematics with which average analytical engineers or physicists need be familiar. The first 12 chapters cover ordinary and partial differential equations and their applications; the next four chapters cover the related areas of linear algebra, vector analysis, and the calculus of variations; and the last four chapters cover the elementary theory and applications of functions of a complex variable. This revised edition (fifth was 1982) adds many new exercises, bringing the total to over 5,000, with answers to the odd-numbered exercises given at the end of the book.
