Applied Mathematics

This book provides aspiring engineers and scientists with key insights into mathematical concepts that they may need to understand as elementary researchers and students. The first chapter covers all the vital concepts needed by the readers to understand the latter chapters.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the areas of mathematical physics. It combines all the essential math concepts into one compact, clearly written reference and illustrates the mathematics with numerous physical examples drawn from contemporary research.

Having the right answer doesn't guarantee understanding. This book helps physics students learn to take an informed and intuitive approach to solving problems. It assists undergraduates in developing their skills and provides them with grounding in important mathematical methods.

This engaging book is an antidote to the rigor mortis brought on by too much mathematical rigor, teaching us how to guess answers without needing a proof or an exact calculation.

This book shows how to employ simple mathematical tools, such as arithmetic, to uncover fundamental conflicts between the logic of human civilization and the logic of Nature. These tools can then be used to understand and effectively deal with economic, environmental, and social issues.

This open access book is the 2nd edition involving the update on data, methods and models of Grey Systems. It covers up-to-date theoretical and applied advances in grey systems from across the world, and vividly presents the reader with the overall picture of this new theory and its frontier research.

This book provides the readers solid mathematical background for studying Ferroelectricity and Piezoelectricity, as a supplemental reference of converting a complicated phenomenon expressed by a function.

Stimulating, thought-provoking study shows how abstract methods of pure mathematics can be used to systematize problem-solving techniques in applied mathematics.

This book provides you with analytical tools used both to express the main ideas in quantitative disciplines and to make deductions from that theory, as well as to provide you with numerical tools that will enable you to investigate applied problems directly and in detail.

This open access textbook contains about 200 fully solved problems in analytical and numerical methods for nonlinear osccillations. Mathematical software are adopted to make those solutions more accessible from a graphical point of view.

This Open-Access-book addresses the issue of translating mathematical expressions from LaTeX to the syntax of Computer Algebra Systems (CAS). Over the past decades, especially in the domain of Sciences, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), LaTeX has become the de-facto standard to typeset mathematical formulae in publications.

This book gives an accessible overview of the role and potential of mathematical optimization in call centers. It deals extensively with all aspects of workforce management, but also with topics such as call routing and the scheduling of multiple channels. It does so without going into the mathematics, but by focusing on understanding its consequences. This way the reader will get familiar with workload forecasting, the Erlang formulas, simulation, and so forth, and learn how to improve call center performance using it.
