Applied Mathematics for Earth Scientists (Mathematical Approaches to Geophysics, 2) Rikitake, Tsuneji

A nice copy. No writing or highlighting. Clean pages, shows very minimal signs of wear from use. Shipped with care in a bubble mailer. Feel free to inquire for photos or more details. --- By Tsuneji Rikitake, R. Sato and Y. Hagiwara, this mathematics text is written for geophysicists rather than for earth scientists in general. It has two parts. The first, on fundamentals, gives condensed treatments of the Fourier and Laplace transforms, the Heaviside operator, spectral analysis, special functions, the Laplace and wave equations, and the relaxation method. The second part has ten chapters of applications, many drawn from the authors' own published papers. About a third of this part deals with seismology. The rest covers the earth's gravity, rotation and tides, heat conduction, magnetic and electrical potentials, electromagnetic induction, and magnetohydrodynamics.
