The Principles and Techniques of Applied Mathematics: A Historical Survey with 680 Illustrations - Paperback

by Bernard Friedman (Author)

Stimulating, thought-provoking study shows how abstract methods of pure mathematics can be used to systematize problem-solving techniques in applied mathematics. Topics include methods for solving integral equations, finding Green's function for ordinary or partial differential equations, and for finding the spectral representation of ordinary differential operators. Problems. Appendices. Bibliography.
