A University of Missouri-Rolla mathematician's research into a "unified theory" of continuous and discrete calculus is gaining the attention of mathematicians worldwide for numerous ...

Turing’s approach via a machine model has a great deal of appeal to a programmer and to a computer scientist but, as we have just seen in the previous chapter, mathematicians have also considered what ...

Calculus of variations provides a unifying language for problems in which the state or trajectory of a system is determined by extremising an energy or action functional. Rooted in classical mechanics ...

The calculus of variations is a field of mathematical analysis that identifies functions minimising or maximising integral quantities. It provides the theoretical foundation for determining stable ...

Extends the treatment of engineering mathematics beyond the topics covered in Calculus 3 and differential equations. Topics include non-dimensionalization, elementary asymptotics and perturbation ...
