Nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations: An Introduction for Scientists and Engineers (Oxford Texts in Applied and Engineering Mathematics)

This is a thoroughly updated and expanded 4th edition of the classic text Nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations by Dominic Jordan and Peter Smith. Including numerous worked examples and diagrams, further exercises have been incorporated into the text and answers are provided at the back of the book. Topics include phase plane analysis, nonlinear damping, small parameter expansions and singular perturbations, stability, Liapunov methods, Poincare sequences, homoclinic bifurcation and Liapunov exponents. Over 500 end-of-chapter problems are also included and as an additional resource fully-worked solutions to these are provided in the accompanying text Nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations: Problems and Solutions, (OUP, 2007). Both texts cover a wide variety of applications while keeping mathematical prequisites to a minimum making these an ideal resource for students and lecturers in engineering, mathematics and the sciences.

Science & Math

Mathematics

Jordan and Smith (both: mathematics, Keele U.) emphasize applications and methods rather than proofs in this text of mathematical methods for students in undergraduate engineering and science courses. The third edition has been revised with a new preface, rewritten and expanded chapters, and improved layout. Brief modular chapters include more than 500 worked examples, making the book useful as a quick reference. Sections include differentiation, complex numbers, matrix algebra and vectors, integration and differential equations, transforms and Fourier series, multivariable calculus, discrete mathematics, and probability and statistics.

Mathematical Techniques

Mathematical concepts and theories underpin engineering and many of the physical sciences. Yet many engineering and science students find math challenging and even intimidating. The fourth edition of Mathematical Techniques provides a complete course in mathematics, covering all the essential topics with which a physical sciences or engineering student should be familiar. By breaking the subject into small, modular chapters, the book introduces and builds on concepts in a progressive, carefully-layered way - always with an emphasis on using math to the best effect, rather than relying on theoretical proofs. With a huge array of end of chapter problems and new self-check questions, the fourth edition of Mathematical Techniques provides extensive opportunities for students to exercise and enhance their mathematical knowledge and skills. Distinctive Features - Over 500 worked out examples offer the reader valuable guidance when tackling problems. - Self-check questions and over 2,000 end of chapter problems provide extensive opportunities for students to actively master the concepts presented. - A series of projects at the end of the book encourage students to use mathematical software to further their understanding. - An Online Resource Centre features additional resources for lecturers and students, including figures from the book in electronic format, ready to download; a downloadable solutions manual featuring worked solutions to all end of chapter problems (password protected); and mathematical-based programs relating to the projects featured at the end of the book .
