Distributions in the Physical and Engineering Sciences, Volume 1: Distributional and Fractal Calculus, Integral Transforms and Wavelets

Distributions in the Physical and Engineering Sciences is a comprehensive exposition on analytic methods for solving science and engineering problems which is written from the unifying viewpoint of distribution theory and enriched with many modern topics which are important to practitioners and researchers. The goal of the book is to give the reader, specialist and non-specialist usable and modern mathematical tools in their research and analysis. This new text is intended for graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics, physical sciences and engineering. The careful explanations, accessible writing style, and many illustrations/examples also make it suitable for use as a self-study reference by anyone seeking greater understanding and proficiency in the problem solving methods presented. The book is ideal for a general scientific and engineering audience, yet it is mathematically precise. The present, softcover reprint is designed to make this classic textbookavailable to a wider audience.
