Advanced Mathematics for Applications
Author: Andrea Prosperetti
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139492683
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 743
Book Description
The partial differential equations that govern scalar and vector fields are the very language used to model a variety of phenomena in solid mechanics, fluid flow, acoustics, heat transfer, electromagnetism and many others. A knowledge of the main equations and of the methods for analyzing them is therefore essential to every working physical scientist and engineer. Andrea Prosperetti draws on many years' research experience to produce a guide to a wide variety of methods, ranging from classical Fourier-type series through to the theory of distributions and basic functional analysis. Theorems are stated precisely and their meaning explained, though proofs are mostly only sketched, with comments and examples being given more prominence. The book structure does not require sequential reading: each chapter is self-contained and users can fashion their own path through the material. Topics are first introduced in the context of applications, and later complemented by a more thorough presentation.

Advanced Mathematics for Engineers with Applications in Stochastic Processes
Author: Aliakbar Montazer Haghighi
Publisher: Nova Science Publishers
ISBN: 9781608768806
Category : Functions of several complex variables
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Topics in advanced mathematics for engineers, probability and statistics typically span three subject areas, are addressed in three separate textbooks and taught in three different courses in as many as three semesters. Due to this arrangement, students taking these courses have had to shelf some important and fundamental engineering courses until much later than is necessary. This practice has generally ignored some striking relations that exist between the seemingly separate areas of statistical concepts, such as moments and estimation of Poisson distribution parameters. On one hand, these concepts commonly appear in stochastic processes -- for instance, in measures on effectiveness in queuing models. On the other hand, they can also be viewed as applied probability in engineering disciplines -- mechanical, chemical, and electrical, as well as in engineering technology. There is obviously, an urgent need for a textbook that recognises the corresponding relationships between the various areas and a matching cohesive course that will see through to their fundamental engineering courses as early as possible. This book is designed to achieve just that. Its seven chapters, while retaining their individual integrity, flow from selected topics in advanced mathematics such as complex analysis and wavelets to probability, statistics and stochastic processes.

A Mathematics Course for Political and Social Research
Author: Will H. Moore
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691159173
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
Political science and sociology increasingly rely on mathematical modeling and sophisticated data analysis, and many graduate programs in these fields now require students to take a "math camp" or a semester-long or yearlong course to acquire the necessary skills. Available textbooks are written for mathematics or economics majors, and fail to convey to students of political science and sociology the reasons for learning often-abstract mathematical concepts. A Mathematics Course for Political and Social Research fills this gap, providing both a primer for math novices in the social sciences and a handy reference for seasoned researchers. The book begins with the fundamental building blocks of mathematics and basic algebra, then goes on to cover essential subjects such as calculus in one and more than one variable, including optimization, constrained optimization, and implicit functions; linear algebra, including Markov chains and eigenvectors; and probability. It describes the intermediate steps most other textbooks leave out, features numerous exercises throughout, and grounds all concepts by illustrating their use and importance in political science and sociology. Uniquely designed and ideal for students and researchers in political science and sociology Uses practical examples from political science and sociology Features "Why Do I Care?" sections that explain why concepts are useful Includes numerous exercises Complete online solutions manual (available only to professors, email david.siegel at duke.edu, subject line "Solution Set") Selected solutions available online to students

Handbook of Research on Advances and Applications of Fuzzy Sets and Logic
Author: Broumi, Said
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 179987981X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 944
Book Description
Fuzzy logic, which is based on the concept of fuzzy set, has enabled scientists to create models under conditions of imprecision, vagueness, or both at once. As a result, it has now found many important applications in almost all sectors of human activity, becoming a complementary feature and supporter of probability theory, which is suitable for modelling situations of uncertainty derived from randomness. Fuzzy mathematics has also significantly developed at the theoretical level, providing important insights into branches of traditional mathematics like algebra, analysis, geometry, topology, and more. With such widespread applications, fuzzy sets and logic are an important area of focus in mathematics. The Handbook of Research on Advances and Applications of Fuzzy Sets and Logic studies recent theoretical advances of fuzzy sets and numbers, fuzzy systems, fuzzy logic and their generalizations, extensions, and more. This book also explores the applications of fuzzy sets and logic applied to science, technology, and everyday life to further provide research on the subject. This book is ideal for mathematicians, physicists, computer specialists, engineers, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students who are looking to learn more about fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic, and their applications.
