In this textbook on calculus of one variable, applications to the natural sciences play a central role. Examples from biology, chemistry, and physics are discussed in detail without compromising the discussion of the mathematics essential to differential and integral calculus. Calculus for the Natural Sciences distinguishes itself from others on ......
Web-like waves, often observed on the surface of shallow water, are examples of nonlinear waves. They are generated by nonlinear interactions among several obliquely propagating solitary waves, also known as solitons. In this book, modern mathematical tools-algebraic geometry, algebraic combinatorics, and representation theory, among others-are ......
Numerical Linear Algebra with Julia provides in-depth coverage of fundamental topics in numerical linear algebra, including how to solve dense and sparse linear systems, compute QR factorizations, compute the eigendecomposition of a matrix, and solve linear systems using iterative methods such as conjugate gradient. The style is friendly and ......
Reduced order modeling is an important, growing field in computational science and engineering, and this is the first book to address the subject in relation to computational fluid dynamics. It focuses on complex parametrization of shapes for their optimization and includes recent developments in advanced topics such as turbulence, stability of ......
Applied Numerical Linear Algebra introduces students to numerical issues that arise in linear algebra and its applications. A wide range of techniques are touched on, including direct to iterative methods, orthogonal factorizations, least squares, eigenproblems, and nonlinear equations. Inside Applied Numerical Linear Algebra, readers will find: ......
This book develops the theory of probability and mathematical statistics with the goal of analyzing real-world data. Throughout the text, the R package is used to compute probabilities, check analytically computed answers, simulate probability distributions, illustrate answers with appropriate graphics, and help students develop intuition ......
Fit for students just starting to build a background in mathematics, this textbook provides an introduction to numerical methods for linear algebra problems. Introduction to Numerical Linear Algebra is ideal for a flipped classroom, as it provides detailed explanations that allow students to read on their own and instructors to go beyond ......
Perturbation methods are old and powerful. Solutions are provided as formulas rather than numbers or pictures, so the skill of the person (or machine!) reading the formula is essential. This unique book presents several classical methods to solve perturbation problems using backward error analysis. This lessens the likelihood of blunders because ......

This book is the first to offer a systematic methodology for solving nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using power series, specifically those arising in mathematical physics. It provides tools to eliminate the tedious manipulation of infinite series, enabling recursive computation of all terms. The authors also present a structured ......
