About the Book

Applied Mathematics

Applied mathematics, as we view it, is the application of mathematics to real-world problems with the dual goal of explaining observed phenomena and predicting new, as yet unobserved, phenomena. Therefore, the emphasis is on both the mathematics and the real world. Undergraduate and graduate students sometimes wonder what is applied mathematics. Students often form an impression of applied math based on conversations with other students or conversations with and courses taught by particular faculty members. Unfortunately this impression can be wrong in the sense that a subset of applied mathematics may seem to represent all of applied math. It is the intention of this webpage to discuss different mathematicians' views on applied mathematics, offer some examples, discuss some history, etc. This book offers an authentic description of some of the current topics in applied mathematics such as differential equation approximation theory variational methods viscoelasticity continuum mechanics and so on. Contents: Multiplication of Matrices; Algebra of Complex Number; Differentiation of the Trigonometric Functions; Functions of Complex Variable; Integral Calculus; Differential Equation; Fluid Mechanics; Special Relativity; Continuum Mechanics; Vector Algebra; The Inverse Laplace Transform.
