This introduction explores the potential of mathematics to generate visually appealing objects and reveals some of the beauty of mathematics. With color figures and animations on an accompanying CD-ROM, plus a 16-page full-color insert, it includes numerous illustrations, computer-generated graphics..
The use of mathematical modeling in engineering allows for a significant reduction of material costs associated with design, production, and operation of technical objects, but it is important for an engineer to use the available computational approaches in modeling correctly. Taking into account th..
The fourth and final volume in this comprehensive set presents the maximum principle as a wide ranging solution to nonclassical, variational problems. This one mathematical method can be applied in a variety of situations, including linear equations with variable coefficients, optimal processes with..
