<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Now in a thoroughly updated and revised fourth edition, this volume features new concepts and applications to assist readers in modeling and analyzing natural, social, and technological processes. It introduces key ideas in mathematical methods and modeling, focusing on the connections between mathematics and the applied and natural sciences. This edition emphasizes probability and stochastic differential equations and includes additional coverage of mathematics biology, including biochemical kinetics, epidemiology, viral dynamics, parasitic diseases, and more. New and revised exercises are incorporated throughout"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Praise for the <i>Third Edition<br /> <br /> </i>"Future mathematicians, scientists, and engineers should find the book to be an excellent introductory text for coursework or self-study as well as worth its shelf space for reference."<br /> --MAA Reviews</p> <p><i><br /> Applied Mathematics, Fourth Edition</i> is a thoroughly updated and revised edition on the applications of modeling and analyzing natural, social, and technological processes. The book covers a wide range of key topics in mathematical methods and modeling and highlights the connections between mathematics and the applied and natural sciences.</p> <p>The <i>Fourth Edition</i> covers both standard and modern topics, including scaling and dimensional analysis; regular and singular perturbation; calculus of variations; Green's functions and integral equations; nonlinear wave propagation; and stability and bifurcation. The book provides extended coverage of mathematical biology, including biochemical kinetics, epidemiology, viral dynamics, and parasitic disease. In addition, the new edition features: </p> <ul> <li>Expanded coverage on orthogonality, boundary value problems, and distributions, all of which are motivated by solvability and eigenvalue problems in elementary linear algebra</li> <li>Additional MATLAB(R) applications for computer algebra system calculations</li> <li>Over 300 exercises and 100 illustrations that demonstrate important concepts</li> <li>New examples of dimensional analysis and scaling along with new tables of dimensions and units for easy reference</li> <li>Review material, theory, and examples of ordinary differential equations</li> <li>New material on applications to quantum mechanics, chemical kinetics, and modeling diseases and viruses</li> </ul> <p>Written at an accessible level for readers in a wide range of scientific fields, <i>Applied Mathematics, Fourth Edition</i> is an ideal text for introducing modern and advanced techniques of applied mathematics to upper-undergraduate and graduate-level students in mathematics, science, and engineering. The book is also a valuable reference for engineers and scientists in government and industry.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><b>Praise for the <i>Third Edition</i></b> <p><b>"Future mathematicians, scientists, and engineers should find the book to be an excellent introductory text for coursework or self-study as well as worth its shelf space for reference."</br> --<i>MAA Reviews</i></b> <p><i>Applied Mathematics, Fourth Edition</i> is a thoroughly updated and revised edition on the applications of modeling and analyzing natural, social, and technological processes.
