Organized in the style of classroom discourses, the book can be used equally well in a regular course and for self-study. This book covers the material vital for research in today's world and can be covered in a regular semester course. It is the consolidation of the efforts of teaching the compulsory first semester postgraduate applied mathematics course at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Kanpur in two successive years. Key Features -Coverage of the right material for applied areas. -Just enough detail for completion within a semester course. -Structured lecture-size chapters for convenient teaching and learning. -A style of dialogue to keep the reader tuned in partnership rather than high-handed prescriptions. -Careful framing of exercises with enough guideline to encourage the reader in problem solving as well as theory development. -A detailed appendix with complete answers (including plots of results), solution outlines, interpretations, comments and further extensions. -A rich bibliography and appropriate citations all over the text to indicate further study material on all topics. http://home.iitk.ac.in/~dasgupta/MathBook/ https://home.iitk.ac.in/~dasgupta/MathBook/lmaster6.pdf ER -
