What is An introduction to applied mathematics Second Edition about?

The first edition of this book was an attempt to give an introduction to the basic mathematics needed in physics and engineering. Only a knowledge of the principles of statics and dynamics and of the calculus was assumed; other techniques were developed ah initio, but as rigorously as possible, and an attempt was made to develop mathematical skill through the solution of a large number of problems of technical significance. To this end, in addition to conventional statics and dynamics, the book covered much of what is now described as ‘mathematical methods’, including vector analysis, numerical analysis, ordiniary and partial differential equations, special functions, Fourier series, and Fourier and Laplace Transforms. In dynamics it included a long chapter on mechanical vibrations and another on electric circuit theory. Boundary value problems were intro¬ duced through the theory of bending of beams. This new edition has been prepared largely by Professor Starfield. It has been found that most of the old material is still needed. In some places the examples have been modernized, for example solid-state devices replace vacuum tubes. Other areas have been extended; for instance serv
