Description
This comprehensive, well-planned text offers broad coverage and a wide range of examples and problems to meet the various needs of undergraduate engineering mathematics and applied mathematics courses as they evolve in line with changes of emphasis and application. Essential results and methods are summarized where appropriate to make the material easily accessible. The book includes not only the standard problems students might expect, but also those that will occur in actual practice when slightly different formulations are involved.
The main structure of the text follows the generally established pattern of chapter headings for a book on complex analysis, but the order in which the topics are presented is unique. The approach adopted with this book distinguishes it from other texts in part because of the care that has been taken in how old and new topics are discussed, as well as in the interconnections that are established between the chapters, including their order of presentation. Students will be able to apply their mathematical knowledge more effectively if they understand the interconnections between different branches of mathematics such as engineering mathematics and applied mathematics.
