Synopsis

Keeping the style, content, and focus that made the first edition a bestseller, Integral Transforms and their Applications, Second Edition stresses the development of analytical skills rather than the importance of more abstract formulation. The authors provide a working knowledge of the analytical methods required in pure and applied mathematics, physics, and engineering. The second edition includes many new applications, exercises, comments, and observations with some sections entirely rewritten. It contains more than 500 worked examples and exercises with answers as well as hints to selected exercises.

The most significant changes in the second edition include:

New chapters on fractional calculus and its applications to ordinary and partial differential equations, wavelets and wavelet transformations, and Radon transform

Revised chapter on Fourier transforms, including new sections on Fourier transforms of generalized functions, Poissons summation formula, Gibbs phenomenon, and Heisenbergs uncertainty principle

A wide variety of applications has been selected from areas of ordinary and partial differential equations, integral equations, fluid mechanics and elasticity, mathematical statistics, fractional ordinary and partial differential equations, and special functions

A broad spectrum of exercises at the end of each chapter further develops analytical skills in the theory and applications of transform methods and a deeper insight into the subject

A systematic mathematical treatment of the theory and method of integral transforms, the book provides a clear understanding of the subject and its varied applications in mathematics, applied mathematics, physical sciences, and engineering.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Integral Transforms and Their Applications, provides a systematic , comprehensive review of the properties of integral transforms and their applications to the solution of boundary and initial value problems. Over 750 worked examples, exercises, and applications illustrate how transform methods can be used to solve problems in applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and engineering. The specific applications discussed include problems in differential, integral, and difference equations; electric circuits and networks; vibrations and wave propagation; heat conduction; fractional derivatives and fractional integrals; dynamical systems; signal processing; quantum mechanics; atmosphere and ocean dynamics; physical chemistry; mathematical biology; and probability and statistics.
Integral Transforms and Their Applications includes broad coverage the standard material on integral transforms and their applications, along with modern applications and examples of transform methods. It is both an ideal textbook for students and a sound reference for professionals interested in advanced study and research in the field.
