Inequalities : With Applications to Engineering by Michael J. Cloud

By Michael J. Cloud

A operating wisdom of inequalities could be valuable to the training engineer, and inequalities are significant to the definitions of all proscribing techniques, together with differentiation and integration. whilst particular ideas are unavailable, inconvenient, or pointless, inequalities can be utilized to procure mistakes bounds for numerical approximation. they could additionally bring about an realizing of the qualitative habit of ideas. This advisor to inequalities was once written in particular with engineers and different utilized scientists in brain, and is helping fill the space among university algebra-level remedies, and the bold treatise at the topic that exist within the arithmetic literature. To consolidate the educational strategy, each bankruptcy ends with a wealthy selection of routines.

The Calculus Diaries: How Math Can Help You Lose Weight, Win in Vegas, and Survive a Zombie Apocalypse

Kiss My Math meets A journey of the Calculus

Jennifer Ouellette by no means took math in university, commonly simply because she-like such a lot people-assumed that she wouldn't want it in actual existence. yet then the English-major-turned-award-winning-science-writer had a transformation of middle and made up our minds to revisit the equations and formulation that had haunted her for years. The Calculus Diaries is the thrill and engaging account of her 12 months spent confronting her math phobia head on. With wit and verve, Ouellette exhibits how she discovered to use calculus to every little thing from gasoline mileage to weight loss program, from the rides at Disneyland to capturing craps in Vegas-proving that even the mathematically challenged can examine the basics of the common language.

A Course in Multivariable Calculus and Analysis (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)

This self-contained textbook offers an intensive exposition of multivariable calculus. it may be considered as a sequel to the one-variable calculus textual content, A path in Calculus and actual research, released within the similar sequence. The emphasis is on correlating basic suggestions and result of multivariable calculus with their opposite numbers in one-variable calculus.

Partial Differential Equations V: Asymptotic Methods for Partial Differential Equations (Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences) (v. 5)

The six articles during this EMS quantity offer an outline of a couple of modern recommendations within the examine of the asymptotic habit of partial differential equations. those strategies comprise the Maslov canonical operator, semiclassical asymptotics of ideas and eigenfunctions, habit of recommendations close to singular issues of alternative types, matching of asymptotic expansions as regards to a boundary layer, and procedures in inhomogeneous media.

With the notation described above, we form Riemann sums: n n f (xi )∆x ≤ i=1 g(xi )∆x. 1. 1 (Simple Estimate). If f (x) is integrable on [a, b] with m ≤ f (x) ≤ M , then b m(b − a) ≤ f (x) dx ≤ M (b − a). 2 (Modulus Inequality). If f (x) is integrable on [a, b], then b b f (x) dx ≤ a |f (x)| dx. a The second corollary follows from the inequalities −|f (x)| ≤ f (x) ≤ |f (x)| and plays the role of the triangle inequality for integrals.

Underestimating an integral. By the quotient rule for differentiation, d dx 1 x x f (u) du 0 ≥0 as required. It is possible to obtain other inequalities involving integrals through an ad hoc consideration of areas bounded by various plane curves. This simple process, reminiscent of the integral test from calculus, is probably best described in an example. 12. The function f (x) = xp , where −1 < p < 0, is strictly decreasing. 4 it is apparent that n+1 1 n xp dx < n kp < xp dx. 0 k=1 Hence, after carrying out the integrations, (n + 1)p+1 − 1 < p+1 n kp < k=1 np+1 .
