new book

I am satisfy with the new book which I received from my collegue who is going to San Jose for training last month.

Good book, easy to understand
This series is very famous , and i like the methods and way they interprete.

Partial Differential Equations review
I have found it helpful and inciteful with the more difficult differential equations that can be attempted.

Good if you've forgotten
This book contains mostly routine exercises of the subject. If you want to dig a bit further and sharpen your skills: try Krasnov's A Book of Problems in Ordinary Differential Equations. Language: English
ISBN: 5030009493

Not up to par with other Schaum's outlines on mathematics
This is one of the more poorly written Schaum's outlines I have encountered. The theory is very murky and the author gives no clear direction as to where he is going with this material and what it all means. PDE is a hard enough subject without working a bunch of meaningless problems that leave you wondering what it is you are supposed to have learned. Instead, I suggest you read "Introduction to Partial Differential Equations with Applications" by Zachmanoglou and Thoe in order to understand the mathematical underpinnings of PDE. Then read "Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers" to get a thorough feel for how PDE is used to solve real-world problems. Both books usually sell used for under $10 each, making them cost-effective alternatives to this Schaum's outline. ... Read more

Product Description

This book is devoted to the basic mathematical properties of solutions to boundary integral equations and presents a systematic approach to the variational methods for the boundary integral equations arising in elasticity, fluid mechanics, and acoustic scattering theory. It may also serve as the mathematical foundation of the boundary element methods. The latter have recently become extremely popular and efficient computational tools in applications. The authors are well known for their fundamental work on boundary integral equations and related topics. This book is a major scholarly contribution to the modern theory of boundary integral equations and should be accessible and useful to a large community of mathematical analysts, applied mathematicians, engineers and scientists.

Product Description
Partial differential equations provide mathematical models of many important problems in the physical sciences and engineering.This book treats one class of such equations, concentrating on methods involving the use of surface potentials.William McLean provides the first detailed exposition of the mathematical theory of boundary integral equations of the first kind on non-smooth domains. Included are chapters on three specific examples: the Laplace equation, the Helmholtz equation and the equations of linear elasticity. The book affords an ideal background for studying the modern research literature on boundary element methods. ... Read more

Brillant treatment of nonlinear differential and integral equations
This book contains a superb treatment of the classical theories of nonlinear equations including integral equations of the Volterra type. It was written in 1960, when the use of computers to solve differential equations and dynamical systems was in its infancy and the book is of course dated in this aspect. However, the book is a true treasure and is worth reading for its thorough and comprehensive treatment, including an introduction to the concept and usefulness of the phase space. It is bad that it is hard to get nowadays, but it is worth trying to get it used.

Ahead of its Time
This book appeared a full generation before Gleick's classic popularization, "Chaos." It is easy to read, as math books go, and full of examples well worth studying for both practical and theoretical questions. Like many Dover reprints, it is a fantastic value. However, the only applications of CAC (continuous analytic continuation) you might find are some papers by D. Hartwell on orbits. An equally precise, but more versatile method is Picard-Chebyshev, but it has yet to develop a significant following. For references, see the New Preface in the Product Link. If amazon.com ever gets its "Shorts" program up and running again, I'll offer some of the examples from this classic work as Excel spreadsheets with VBA macros. Yes, you can do a lot of nonlinear dynamics with Excel because the secret is to use a small set of optimal variables rather than a large set of unstable ones.

Nonlinear Differential Equations
Excellent coverage of the Painleve nonlinear differentialequations.

Excellent presentation of the method of Continuous AnalyticContinuation and its use to numerically advance the solution ofnonlinearequations in the complex domain around poles that can occur in the realdomain, such as those that arise with the Painleve equations. ... Read more

Product Description
After a consideration of basic quantum mechanics, this introduction aims at a side by side treatment of fundamental applications of the Schrödinger equation on the one hand and the applications of the path integral on the other. Different from traditional texts and using a systematic perturbation method, the solution of Schrödinger equations includes also those with anharmonic oscillator potentials, periodic potentials, screened Coulomb potentials and a typical singular potential, as well as the investigation of the large order behavior of the perturbation series. On the path integral side, after introduction of the basic ideas, the expansion around classical configurations in Euclidean time, such as instantons, is considered, and the method is applied in particular to anharmonic oscillator and periodic potentials. Numerous other aspects are treated on the way, thus providing the reader an instructive overview over diverse quantum mechanical phenomena, e.g. many! other potentials, Green’s functions, comparison with WKB, calculation of lifetimes and sojourn times, derivation of generating functions, the Coulomb problem in various coordinates, etc. All calculations are given in detail, so that the reader can follow every step. ...

Product Description

This monograph, first published in Russian, presents a new efficient tool of computational mechanics, complex variable boundary integral equations (CV-BIE). The book is conceived as a continuation of the classical monograph by N.I. Muskhelishvili into the computer era. The English edition places more emphasis on problems relating to media with internal structure; it contains more examples showing the potential and advantages of the analysis.

The book may be of use to those who want to calculate stresses, strains, stress intensity factors and effective properties of a medium with internal structure when dealing with problems of materials science, fracture mechanics, micromechanics, soil and rock mechanics, geomechanics, civil and mechanical engineering. It may also serve as a textbook for graduate students on the theory of real potentials, on the CV-BIE and on the CV-BEM.
