Mathematical Handbook for Scientists and Engineers: Definitions, Theorems, and Formulas for Reference and Review - Paperback

by Granino A. Korn (Author), Theresa M. Korn (Author)

Anyone whose work involves mathematics and its methodology -- especially engineers and scientists -- will appreciate this authoritative handbook, which provides convenient access to information from every area of mathematics. A reliable source of helpful definitions, theorems, and formulas, it features an easy-to-follow format outlining mathematical methods for speedy, accurate solutions to the most demanding problems.
Among the topics covered are Fourier transforms, z transforms, linear and nonlinear programming, calculus of variations, random-process theory, special functions, combinatorial analysis, numerical methods, game theory, and much more. By concisely tabulating related formulas and omitting proofs, the authors have packed a remarkably large amount of material into a single, handy volume. Appropriate introductions, notes, and cross-references appear throughout the text, showing the interrelations of various topics and their significance to science and engineering.
Illustrated throughout with numerous figures and tables, this volume represents a valuable resource for both students and professionals.
