CRC Standard Mathematical Tables and Formulae

A Concise Handbook of Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering Sciences

32nd Edition Daniel Zwillinger Raytheon Corporation, Newton, Massachusetts, USA

Praise for Previous Editions “An excellent reference resource for all readership levels, this guide offers easy navigation through a browseable table of contents and an extensive index. It follows a natural progression for those studying the subject. It is logical, useful, and affordable. Summing up: Highly Recommended.”

—CHOICE, September 2003

“… Mathematicians will find this handbook indispensable — an absolute must-have desk reference. The ready access of tables that may be needed in mathematical endeavors will make life much easier for engineers, scientists, mathematicians, or even for those who are in the process of studying these and related subjects.”

—John Vacca, The Barnes & Noble Review

With over 6,000 entries, this comprehensive handbook continues to provide essential formulas, tables, figures, and descriptions, including many diagrams, group tables, and integrals not available online. Along with a new chapter on mathematical formulae from the sciences, the latest edition includes new material on contingency tables, estimators, process capability, runs test, sample sizes, cellular automata, knot theory, music, quaternions, and rational trigonometry. It also offers updated and more streamlined tables while retaining the successful format of previous editions. Material is presented in a multisectional format, with each section containing a valuable collection of fundamental reference material.

Alexei I. Chernoutsan Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas, Moscow

“Concise presentation (without proofs), mindfulness of differing mathematical backgrounds (avoidance of special terminology when possible), and emphasis on practical aspects (formulas, problems, methods, and laws that occur frequently in engineering applications) contribute to the usefulness of this single-volume reference.

Many sections are self contained; subsections are arranged in increasing order of complexity…”

—SciTech Book News, February 2011

This handbook takes a practical approach to the basic notions, formulas, equations, problems, theorems, methods, and laws that most frequently occur in scientific and engineering applications and university education. The authors pay special attention to issues that many engineers and students find difficult to understand.

The main text offers a concise, coherent survey of the most important definitions, formulas, equations, methods, theorems, and laws. Numerous examples throughout and references at the end of each chapter provide readers with a better understanding of the topics and methods.

Additional issues of interest can be found in the remarks. For ease of reading, the supplement at the back of the book provides several long mathematical tables, including indefinite and definite integrals, direct and inverse integral transforms, and exact solutions of differential equations.

Several features, including font highlighting and cross-references, also help readers find the desired information.

Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces Thomas F. Banchoff and Stephen T. Lovett

Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunication, China

Drawing on the authors’ use of the Hadamardrelated theory in several successful engineering projects, this book explores the applications and dimensions of Hadamard matrices. It covers classical two-dimensional Walsh and Hadamard matrices as well as new Hadamard designs based on dyadic addition sets. The authors also describe applications of the n-dimensional Hadamard matrices of order 2. This edition contains a new section on the applications of higher-dimensional Hadamard matrices to the areas of telecommunications and information security.

Assuming only multivariable calculus and linear algebra, this book culminates with the celebrated Gauss-Bonnet theorem and applications to spherical and hyperbolic geometry. Online interactive computer graphics applets coordinated with each section form an integral part of the exposition.

The applets allow users to investigate and manipulate curves and surfaces to develop intuition and help analyze geometric phenomena. Each section includes exercises that range from straightforward to challenging.

“This concise, well-written book, which includes a profusion of worked examples and exercises, serves both as an excellent text in undergraduate and graduate learning and as a useful presentation of solution techniques for researchers and engineers interested in applying partial differential equations to real-life problems.”

—Barbara Zubik-Kowal, Boise State University, Idaho, USA

“… this is quite simply the best book of its kind that I have seen thus far. … It is definitely a textbook that should be adopted.”

This guide presents methods and results in a new area of application of Lie groups to difference equations, difference meshes (lattices), and difference functional. It is perhaps the first book to provide a systematic construction of invariant difference schemes for nonlinear differential equations.

A substantial part of the text is concerned with conservation laws and first integrals for difference models. The book also includes dozens of examples of invariant schemes and meshes for physics and mechanics.

Stable Solutions of Elliptic Partial Differential Equations Louis Dupaigne

Green’s Functions and Linear Differential Equations Theory, Applications, and Computation Prem K. Kythe University of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

This book offers a self-contained presentation of the notion of stability in PDEs. The central questions of regularity and classification of stable solutions are treated at length. Along with summarizing the most recent developments of the theory, the book covers the maximum principle, the standard regularity theory for linear elliptic equations, and the fundamental functional inequalities commonly used in this field.

With numerous examples and exercises, this selfcontained book unravels the mystery of the Dirac delta function and explains its relation to Green’s functions.

What Every Engineer Should Know about MATLAB® and Simulink®

University of Florida, Gainesville, USA

Adrian B. Biran

Highlighting the new aspects of MATLAB® 7.10 and expanding on many existing features, this book shows how to solve problems in science, engineering, and mathematics.

With examples from mathematics, mechanical and electrical engineering, and control and signal processing, this book provides an introduction to MATLAB® and Simulink® and examines their advantages and limitations. It first explores the benefits of how to use MATLAB to solve problems and then process and present calculations and experimental results. The author also briefly introduces more advanced features of the software, such as object-oriented programming, and emphasizes some specialized toolboxes.

New to the Eighth Edition • A new chapter on object-oriented programming • Discussion of the MATLAB File Exchange window, which provides direct access to over 10,000 submissions by MATLAB users

Technion, Israel

• Major changes to the MATLAB Editor, such as code folding and the integration of the Code Analyzer (M-Lint) into the Editor

The book demonstrates how to:

• Explanation of more powerful Help tools, such as quick help popups for functions via the Function Browser

• Write useful script files and functions for solving specific problems

• The new bsxfun function • A synopsis of each of the MATLAB Top 500 most frequently used functions, operators, and special characters • The addition of several useful features, including sets, logical indexing, isequal, repmat, reshape, varargin, and varargout Now in its eighth edition, this popular primer continues to offer a hands-on, step-by-step introduction to using the powerful tools of MATLAB. It takes you through a series of simple examples that become progressively more complex. M-files and MEX-files for large examples are available for download at CRC Press Online.
