Rather than follow the traditional approach of stating mathematical
principles and then citing some physical examples for illustration,
Professor Mei puts applications at center stage. Beginning with the
problem, he finds the mathematics that suits it and closes with a
mathematical analysis of the physics. He selects physical examples
primarily from applied mechanics. Among topics included are Fourier
series, separation of variables, Bessel functions, Fourier and
Laplace transforms, Green's functions and complex function
theories. Also covered are advanced topics such as Riemann-Hilbert
techniques, perturbation methods, and practical topics such as
symbolic computation. Engineering students, who often feel more awe
than confidence and enthusiasm toward applied mathematics, will
find this approach to mathematics goes a long way toward a sharper
understanding of the physical world.
