Modern mathematics for the engineer: first series

This volume and its successor were conceived to advance the level of mathematical sophistication in the engineering community. The books particularly focus on material relevant to solving the kinds of mathematical problems regularly confronted by engineers. Suitable as a text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses as well as a reference for professionals, Volume One's three-part treatment covers mathematical models, probabilistic problems, and computational considerations. Contributions include chapters on linear and nonlinear oscillations by Solomon Lefschetz, on hyperbolic partial
