Most engineering problems are described by differential equations, particularly partial differential equations (PDEs). Deformation and failure in solid structures, fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass diffusion are all governed by PDEs in general. Many physical quantities in engineering are tensors, including deformation gradient, strain rates, stresses, elastic stiffness, and thermal conductivity of composite materials. This book helps engineering graduate students develop the skills to establish the mathematical models of engineering problems and to solve the problems described by the mathematical models.
- Incorporates numerous engineering examples to help students better understand mathematical concepts and methods for developing mathematical models and finding the solutions of engineering problems
- Integrates the MATLAB computation tool with many MATLAB programs to enhance students’ ability to solve engineering problems
- Includes tensor analysis to better prepare students for advanced engineering courses such as theory of elasticity, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer. Inclusion of tensor analysis also allows a unified treatment of vector and tensor calculus
Graduate engineering students studying advanced engineering math primarily in mechanical and aerospace engineering programs / Navstem estimates the overall US academic market size at 32,000 students. The number of students taking engineering analysis/advanced math at the graduate level is estimated to be about half, or approximately 16,000 students
