This is a mathematical text suitable for students of engineering
and science who are at the third year undergraduate level or
beyond. It is a book of applicable mathematics. It avoids the
approach of listing only the techniques, followed by a few
examples, without explaining why the techniques work. Thus, it
provides not only the know-how but also the know-why. Equally, the
text has not been written as a book of pure mathematics with a list
of theorems followed by their proofs. The authors' aim is to help
students develop an understanding of mathematics and its
applications. They have refrained from using cliches like "it is
obvious" and "it can be shown", which may be true only to a mature
mathematician. On the whole, the authors have been generous in
writing down all the steps in solving the example problems. The
book comprises ten chapters. Each chapter contains several solved
problems clarifying the introduced concepts. Some of the examples
are taken from the recent literature and serve to illustrate the
applications in various fields of engineering and science. At the
end of each chapter, there are assignment problems with two levels
of difficulty. A list of references is provided at the end of the
book. This book is the product of a close collaboration between two
mathematicians and an engineer. The engineer has been helpful in
pinpointing the problems which engineering students encounter in
books written by mathematicians.
