CHOICE Review
Loney (New Jersey Institute of Technology) directs his book specifically toward upper-division undergraduate and beginning graduate engineering students, with examples illustrating some basic chemical engineering principles. Chapters 1-6 cover techniques for the solution of first- and second-order ordinary differential equations, Sturm-Liouville problems, Fourier series, and partial differential equations. Chapter 7 illustrates applications to some problems in chemical engineering, mostly involving the diffusion equation for heat or mass. Chapter 8 summarizes dimensional analysis and scaling of boundary value problems, and chapter 9 presents an overview of the use of various software packages for numerical solution of algebraic and differential equations. Numerous examples are included in each chapter, as well as a list of selected references and some exercises for the student. The first three chapters treating ordinary differential equations are particularly useful, interesting, and well done. Remaining chapters are largely repetitions of material from classical references. Since the book's focus is on analytical methods, the material on numerical methods is quite concise and condensed. A useful text or resource for upper-division undergraduate and graduate engineering mathematics students. R. Darby; Texas A&M UniversityAuthor notes provided by Syndetics
