Pre-Publication Saving on This Long-Needed ... INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY OF APPLIED MATHEMATICS
At Last! Over 8,000 Math applications, Methods, Terms, Now in One 1,215-Page, Quick-Reference Book!
HERE's an important achievement--the first comprehensive single volume that brings together for every use, defined and explained, the terms and methods of application of mathematics to 32 great fields of science and engineering.
This massive International Dictionary of Applied Mathematics contains some 8,165 entries. All those basic definitions and methods from pure mathematics, as well as from science and engineering, so necessary to an understanding of the mathematical applications are included. Each term is so clearly defined that many listings take up half a column, some require a page or more. Equations are included and their derivations explained.
World Famous Specialists in Their Fields Make This Book Unique as a Reference.
From the United States and abroad, noted mathematicians, physicists, chemists and engineers have prepared each entry to ensure authoritative selection and most careful presentation covering these fields: Acoustical Engineering Acoustics Astronomy Automatic Control Differential Geometry Electromagnetic Theory Mechanics Network Topology Nuclear Science Optics Quantum Mechanics Relativity Spectroscopy and Interpretation of Spectra Strength of Materials Chemical and Physical Thermodynamics Vector Analysis Aerodynamics and Hydrodynamics Atomic Structure Chemistry Elasticity General Mathematics Molecular Structure Nuclear Engineering Numerical Analysis Probability and Statistics Relativistic Quantum Mechanics Solid State Physics and Chemistry Statistical Mechanics Structural Analysis and Design Engineering Thermodynamics Tensor Analysis Visco Elasticity and Plasticity.
In this dictionary you will find those concepts and approaches which are most widely used in applied mathematics and which prove most fruitful in their results. Every article is cross-referenced: the section on "Hole Theory," for example, mentions Dirac equation. This is in bold type to refer you to its listing for a more complete understanding of the entire subject. A number of the articles in applied mathematics, especially in numerical analysis, refer you to the great 4-page entry on methods of computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices.
Important Foreign Language Indices
You bridge language barriers to pursue original reading by means of the four--German, Russian, French, Spanish--foreign language indices in this big book.
Helpfully lists all terms with their English equivalents.
Every scientist, every engineer, every student, teacher, researcher needs this book. Whether you're checking data, looking for methods of application, interpolating an equation, writing a paper, clarifying technical articles-this book will give you the answers you need quickly, correctly, without wasted time or effort.
Pre-Publication Offer
A work of this scope ( 1,215 pages, 315 illustrations ) would ordinarily sell for $35 or more. However, the publishers plan an unusually large first printing to bring the retail price down to $25.00.
