Approximation Techniques for Engineers

This book's specific goal is to provide a working knowledge of the various approximation techniques for engineering practice. Therefore, many sections are illuminated by either a computational example or an algorithm to enhance understanding and provide a template for the reader's own application of the technique. The more advanced techniques are also illustrated by some of their industrial applications. The additions of the second edition, the eleven new sections and the two new chapters, significantly enlarge the engineering audience in reflection to the expansion of applications in the past decade since the original publication.
