Readable and systematic, this volume offers coherent presentations of not only the general theory of linear equations with a single integration, but also of applications to differential equations, the calculus of variations, and special areas in mathematical physics. Topics include the solution of Fredholm's equation expressed as a ratio of two integral series in lambda, free and constrained vibrations of an elastic string, and auxiliary theorems...

This book is the first general introduction to stability of ordinary and functional differential equations by means of fixed point techniques. It contains an extensive collection of new and classical examples worked in detail and presented in an elementary manner. Most of this text relies on three principles: a complete metric space, the contraction mapping principle, and an elementary variation of parameters formula. The material is highly accessible...

This concise and widely referenced monograph has served as a text for generations of advanced undergraduate math majors and graduate students. Prepared with an eye toward the needs of applied mathematicians, engineers, and physicists, the treatment is equally valuable as a reference for professionals. After discussing some mathematical preliminaries, author Raimond A. Struble presents detailed treatments of the existence and the uniqueness of a solution...

This self-contained treatment develops the theory of generalized functions and the theory of distributions, and it systematically applies them to solving a variety of problems in partial differential equations. A major portion of the text is based on material included in the books of L. Schwartz, who developed the theory of distributions, and in the books of Gelfand and Shilov, who deal with generalized functions of any class and their use in solving...

This well-known text provides a relatively elementary introduction to distribution theory and describes generalized Fourier and Laplace transformations and their applications to integrodifferential equations, difference equations, and passive systems. Suitable for a graduate course for engineering and science students or for an advanced undergraduate course for mathematics majors. 1965 edition.

Celebrated mathematician Shlomo Sternberg, a pioneer in the field of dynamical systems, created this modern one-semester introduction to the subject for his classes at Harvard University. Its wide-ranging treatment covers one-dimensional dynamics, differential equations, random walks, iterated function systems, symbolic dynamics, and Markov chains. Supplementary materials offer a variety of online components, including PowerPoint lecture slides for...

Graduate-level exposition by noted Russian mathematician offers rigorous, transparent, highly readable coverage of classification of equations, hyperbolic equations, elliptic equations and parabolic equations. Wealth of commentary and insight invaluable for deepening understanding of problems considered in text. Translated from the Russian by A. Shenitzer.

Math is the old, broad and deep science deals with logic of figure, amount and arrangement. Math is all around to us and in anything we do. People working to develop math learning need to know "What is Mathematics?" An organized manner such as mathematics likely to be defined by the kinds of problems, the principles and methods uses to solve these problems, and get the results.Whether you are a student or teacher preparing and need to grown up on...
