Our objective is to help young and also establiShed scientists and engineers to build the skills necessary to analyze equations that they encounter in their work. Our presentation is aimed at developing the insights and techniques that are most useful for attacking new problems. We do not emphasize special methods and tricks which work only for the classical transcendental functions; we do not dwell on equations whose exact solutions are known. The mathematical methods discussed in this book are known collectively as­ asymptotic and perturbative analysis. These are the most useful and powerful methods for finding approximate solutions to equations, but they are difficult to justify rigorously. Thus, we concentrate on the most fruitful aspect of applied analysis; namely, obtaining the answer. We stress care but not rigor. To explain our approach, we compare our goals with those of a freshman calculus course. A beginning calculus course is considered successful if the students have learned how to solve problems using calculus.Mathematical analysisAnalysis (Mathematics)Applied mathematicsEngineering mathematicsPhysicsAnalysishttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12007Mathematical and Computational Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11006Mathematical Methods in Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19013Numerical and Computational Physics, Simulationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19021Mathematical analysis.Analysis (Mathematics).Applied mathematics.Engineering mathematics.Physics.Analysis.Mathematical and Computational Engineering.Mathematical Methods in Physics.Numerical and Computational Physics, Simulation.51534E05msc34A45msc41A60mscBender Carl Mauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut21730Orszag Steven Aauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910480715403321Advanced Mathematical Methods for Scientists and Engineers I2165580UNINA
