Applied Complex Variables for Scientists and Engineers
Editorial Reviews
Review
'This text achieves a mixture of rigour and application that is not found in many books on complex variable theory. I think this is an advantage, allowing one to acquire the best of both mathematical precision alongside applications to physics and engineering ... This must surely appeal to a wide range of learning styles and ensure a greater understanding for anyone who chooses to read this text.' W. Joyce, Contemporary Physics
'This text achieves a mixture of rigour and application that is not found in many books on complex variable theory ... this book if acquired is bound to be consulted frequently on any time frame because of its breadth, versatility, completeness and mix of theory with applications.' W. Joyce, Contemporary Physics
'... clear and comprehensible ...'. Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society
Book Description
This introduction to complex variable methods for scientists and engineers begins by carefully defining complex numbers and analytic functions and then offers accounts of complex integration, Taylor series, singularities, residues, and mappings. Both algebraic and geometric tools are employed to provide the greatest understanding, with many diagrams illustrating the concepts introduced. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding the use of methods, rather than on rigorous proofs. The book's devotion to applications of the material to physical problems will appeal to scientists. Example applications include detailed treatments of potential theory, hydrodynamics, electrostatics, gravitation and the uses of the Laplace transform for partial differential equations. With 300 stimulating exercises and solutions it will be highly suitable for students wishing to learn the elements of complex analysis in an applied context.
