The Mathematical Method

This text includes an eclectic blend of math: number theory, analysis, and algebra, with logic as an extra.

Based on Stanford University's well-known competitive exam, this excellent mathematics workbook offers students at both high school and college levels a complete set of problems, hints, and solutions. 1974 edition.

This book constructs the mathematical apparatus of classical mechanics from the beginning, examining basic problems in dynamics like the theory of oscillations and the Hamiltonian formalism. The author emphasizes geometrical considerations and includes phase spaces and flows, vector fields, and Lie groups. Discussion includes qualitative methods of the theory of dynamical systems and of asymptotic methods like averaging and adiabatic invariance.

Mathematics lays the basic foundation for engineering students to pursue their core subjects. Mathematical Methodscovers topics on matrices, linear systems of equations, eigen values, eigenvectors, quadratic forms, Fourier series, partial differential equations, Z-transforms, numerical methods of solutions of equation, differentiation, integration and numerical solutions of ordinary differential equations. The book features numerical solutions of algebraic and transcendental equations by iteration, bisection, Newton - Raphson methods; the numerical methods include cubic spline method, Runge-Kutta methods and Adams-Bashforth - Moulton methods; applications to one-dimensional heat equations, wave equations and Laplace equations; clear concepts of classifiable functions—even and odd functions—in Fourier series; exhaustive coverage of LU decomposition—tridiagonal systems in solutions of linear systems of equations; over 900 objective-type questions that include multiple choice questions fill in the blanks match the following and true or false statements and the atest University model question papers with solutions.

A textbook for a first-year PhD course in mathematics for economists and a reference for graduate students in economics.

A TRANSITION TO ADVANCED MATHEMATICS helps students make the transition from calculus to more proofs-oriented mathematical study. The most successful text of its kind, the 7th edition continues to provide a firm foundation in major concepts needed for continued study and guides students to think and express themselves mathematically to analyze a situation, extract pertinent facts, and draw appropriate conclusions. The authors place continuous emphasis throughout on improving students' ability to read and write proofs, and on developing their critical awareness for spotting common errors in proofs. Concepts are clearly explained and supported with detailed examples, while abundant and diverse exercises provide thorough practice on both routine and more challenging problems. Students will come away with a solid intuition for the types of mathematical reasoning they'll need to apply in later courses and a better understanding of how mathematicians of all kinds approach and solve problems. Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.

Based on course material used by the author at Yale University, this practical text addresses the widening gap found between the mathematics required for upper-level courses in the physical sciences and the knowledge of incoming students. This superb book offers students an excellent opportunity to strengthen their mathematical skills by solving various problems in differential calculus. By covering material in its simplest form, students can look forward to a smooth entry into any course in the physical sciences.
