Synopsis

Through four editions, Peter O'Neil has made rigorous engineering mathematics topics accessible to thousands of students by emphasizing visuals, numerous examples, and interesting mathematical models. ADVANCED ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS features a greater number of examples and problems and is fine-tuned throughout to improve the clear flow of ideas. The computer plays a more prominent role than ever in generating computer graphics used to display concepts. And problem sets incorporate the use of such leading software packages as MAPLE. Computational assistance, exercises and projects have been included to encourage students to make use of these computational tools. The content is organized into eight-parts and covers a wide spectrum of topics including Ordinary Differential Equations, Vectors and Linear Algebra, Systems of Differential Equations, Vector Analysis, Fourier Analysis, Orthogonal Expansions, and Wavelets, Special Functions, Partial Differential Equations, Complex Analysis, and Historical Notes.

About this title

About the Author:

Served on the faculty at the University of Minnesota, The College of William and Mary in Virginia, where he was chairman of mathematics, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he was chairman of mathematics, dean of natural sciences and mathematics, and university provost. Primary research interests are in graph theory, combinatorial analysis and applications of mathematics to problems in the physical and biological sciences and engineering.

Review:

"I found the diagrams and graphs to be particularly good for a book of this nature. I feel that the strength of the book is its breadth and clear organization. It is an excellent reference also."

"There are more than enough problems. This is the best part of the book." "The independence of the various chapters is a great strength of the book."

"The ordinary differential equations/Laplace/systems material is very well-written and the students are very happy with it."
