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 />

Contents: Preface; Part I. Linear Equations:<br />

1. Variable coefficient, second-order, linear<br />

ordinary differential equations; 2. Legendre<br />

functions; 3. Bessel functions; 4. Boundary value<br />

theory; 5. Fourier series and the Fourier transform;<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 />

computation; 2. Sets and mappings; 3. Evaluation<br />

of functions; 4. Groups, rings and fields; 5. Vector<br />

spaces; 6. Linear mappings I; 7. Linear<br />

functionals; 8. Inner products and norms; 9. Linear<br />

mappings II; 10. Convergence in normed vector<br />

spaces; 11. Group representations; 12. Special<br />

functions; Appendices.<br />
