This new edition of Introduction to Lattices and<br />
Order presents a radical reorganization and<br />
updating, though its primary aim is unchanged.<br />
The explosive development of theoretical<br />
computer science in recent years has, in<br />
particular, influenced the book's evolution: a fresh<br />
treatment of fixpoints testifies to this and Galois<br />
connections now feature prominently. An early<br />
presentation of concept analysis gives both a<br />
concrete foundation for the subsequent theory of<br />
complete lattices and a glimpse of a methodology<br />
for data analysis that is of commercial value in<br />
social science. Classroom experience has led to<br />
numerous pedagogical improvements and many<br />
new exercises have been added. As before,<br />
exposure to elementary abstract algebra and the<br />
notation of set theory are the only prerequisites,<br />
making the book suitable for advanced<br />
undergraduates and beginning graduate students.<br />
It will also be a valuable resource for anyone who<br />
meets ordered structures.<br />

Finding and interpreting the solutions of differential<br />
equations is a central and essential part of applied<br />
mathematics. This book aims to enable the reader<br />
to develop the required skills needed for a<br />
thorough understanding of the subject. The<br />
authors focus on the business of constructing<br />
solutions analytically, and interpreting their<br />
meaning, using rigorous analysis where needed.<br />
MATLAB is used extensively to illustrate the<br />
material. There are many worked examples based<br />
on interesting and unusual real world problems. A<br />
large selection of exercises is provided, including<br />
several lengthier projects, some of which involve<br />
the use of MATLAB. The coverage is broad,<br />
ranging from basic second-order ODES and<br />
PDEs, through to techniques for nonlinear<br />
differential equations, chaos, asymptotics and<br />
control theory.<br />

Modern Mathematical Methods for Physicists and<br />
Engineers provides an up-to-date mathematical<br />
and computational education for students,<br />
researchers, and practising engineers. The author<br />
begins with a review of computation, and then<br />
deals with a range of key concepts including sets,<br />
fields, matrix theory, and vector spaces. He then<br />
goes on to cover more advanced subjects such as<br />
linear mappings, group theory, and special<br />
functions. In this way, he concentrates exclusively<br />
on the most important topics for the working<br />
physical scientist or engineer with the aim of<br />
helping them to make intelligent use of the latest<br />
computational and analytical methods. The book<br />
contains well over 400 homework problems and<br />
covers many topics not dealt with in other<br />
textbooks. It will be ideal for senior undergraduate<br />
and graduate students in the physical sciences<br />
and engineering, as well as a valuable reference<br />
for working engineers.<br />
Contents: Preface; 1. Foundations of<br />
