Ebook: Methods of Engineering Mathematics

This rigorous and thorough presentation of the basic and broadly applicable methods of engineering mathematics presents generalization of conventional vector properties, establishes similarities in basic properties and concepts of vector analysis, shows that the governing equations involved in many engineering applications fall into four basic forms, and sets out the equivalence between solving boundary-value problems and minimizing energy functionals. The theory and definitions are all illuminated by practical examples drawn from mechanical and civil engineering and related engineering specializations.
