Synopsis

Variational Methods in Engineering has been written with an easy-to-understand style. As variational methods are of great importance to aerospace, civil and mechanical engineers, the emphasis is on the applications to engineering, but the mathematics that serves as the foundation is also given its due importance.

Copious footnotes, some of which are written in a lighter vein, and a large number of illustrative examples are a feature of the book.
