About the Book

Applied Mathematical Methods refreshes the reader's undergraduate mathematics background and enhances it to the point of enabling him/her to take up research challenges in a mature manner. Organized in the style of classroom discourses, the book can be used equally well in a regular course and for self-study.

This book covers the material vital for research in today's world and can be covered in a regular semester course. It is the consolidation of the efforts of teaching the compulsory first semester postgraduate applied mathematics course at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Kanpur in two successive years.
