✦ Synopsis

This book is ideal for engineering, physical science, and applied mathematics students and professionals who want to enhance their mathematical knowledge. Advanced Topics in Applied Mathematics covers four essential applied mathematics topics: Green's functions, Integral equations, Fourier transforms, and Laplace transforms. Also included is a useful discussion of topics such as the Wiener-Hopf method, Finite Hilbert transforms, Cagniard-De Hoop method, and the proper orthogonal decomposition. This book reflects Sudhakar Nair's long classroom experience and includes numerous examples of differential and integral equations from engineering and physics to illustrate the solution procedures. The text includes exercise sets at the end of each chapter and a solutions manual, which is available for instructors.
