Inequalities (eBook, PDF)

With Applications to Engineering

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a concise introduction to mathematical inequalities for graduate students and researchers in the fields of engineering and applied mathematics. It begins by reviewing essential facts from algebra and calculus and proceeds with a presentation of the central inequalities of applied analysis, illustrating a wide variety of practical applications. The text provides a gentle introduction to abstract spaces, such as metric, normed, and inner product spaces. It also provides full coverage of the central inequalities of applied analysis, such as Young's inequality, the inequality of the means, Hölder's inequality, Minkowski's inequality, the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, Chebyshev's inequality, Jensen's inequality, and the triangle inequality.

The second edition features extended coverage of applications, including continuum mechanics and interval analysis. It also includes many additional examples and exercises with hints and full solutions that may appeal to upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers in engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry, or any other quantitative science.

Rezensionen

"This second edition of Inequalities with Applications to Engineering is aimed at readers having customary backgrounds in engineering mathematics. ... It is interesting to note that the authors included not only classical inequalities ... but also some discussion of extremum problems and an introduction to interval analysis. ... It should be of interest to both undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics, physics and engineering, as well as to practicing engineers." (Victor A. Eremeyev, Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Vol. 95 (8), 2015)

"It reads at an undergraduate mathematics level but gives soft introductions and reviews on all topics leaving it possible for those without a formal mathematical or applied mathematical background to follow. ... Any mathematician would enjoy this book and appreciate its clear, concise descriptions. ... It simply is a very nice applied mathematics book." (Anna Heffernan, Irish Mathematical Bulletin, Issue 75, 2015)

"...a remarkable addition to the literature on inequalities, and not only engineers or other applied scientists, but the students of mathematics and researchers will appreciate it." - József Sándor, zbMATH
