This book provides the knowledge of the newly-established supertrigonometric and superhyperbolic functions with the special functions such as Mittag-Leffler, Wiman, Prabhakar, Miller-Ross, Rabotnov, Lorenzo-Hartley, Sonine, Wright and Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts functions, Gauss hypergeometric series and Clausen hypergeometric series. The special functions can be considered to represent a great many of the real-world phenomena in mathematical physics, engineering and other applied sciences. The audience benefits of new and original information and references in the areas of the special functions applied to model the complex problems with the power-law behaviors. The results are important and interesting for scientists and engineers to represent the complex phenomena arising in applied sciences therefore graduate students and researchers in mathematics, physics and engineering might find this book appealing.

Classroom-tested, Advanced Mathematical Methods in Science and Engineering, Second Edition presents methods of applied mathematics that are particularly suited to address physical problems in science and engineering. Numerous examples illustrate the various methods of solution and answers to the end-of-chapter problems are included at the back of the book. After introducing integration and solution methods of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), the book presents Bessel and Legendre functions as well as the derivation and methods of solution of linear boundary value problems for physical systems in one spatial dimension governed by ODEs. It also covers complex variables, calculus, and integrals; linear partial differential equations (PDEs) in classical physics and engineering; the derivation of integral transforms; Green’s functions for ODEs and PDEs; asymptotic methods for evaluating integrals; and the asymptotic solution of ODEs. New to this edition, the final chapter offers an extensive treatment of numerical methods for solving non-linear equations, finite difference differentiation and integration, initial value and boundary value ODEs, and PDEs in mathematical physics. Chapters that cover boundary value problems and PDEs contain derivations of the governing differential equations in many fields of applied physics and engineering, such as wave mechanics, acoustics, heat flow in solids, diffusion of liquids and gases, and fluid flow. An update of a bestseller, this second edition continues to give students the strong foundation needed to apply mathematical techniques to the physical phenomena encountered in scientific and engineering applications.

Mathematical physics plays an important role in the study of many physical processes — hydrodynamics, elasticity, and electrodynamics, to name just a few. Because of the enormous range and variety of problems dealt with by mathematical physics, this thorough advanced undergraduate- or graduate-level text considers only those problems leading to partial differential equations. Contents: I. Classification of Partial Differential Equations II. Evaluations of the Hyperbolic Type III. Equations of the Parabolic Type IV. Equations of Elliptic Type V. Wave Propagation in Space VI. Heat Conduction in Space VII. Equations of Elliptic Type (Continuation) The authors — two well-known Russian mathematicians — have focused on typical physical processes and the principal types of equations dealing with them. Special attention is paid throughout to mathematical formulation, rigorous solutions, and physical interpretation of the results obtained. Carefully chosen problems designed to promote technical skills are contained in each chapter, along with extremely useful appendixes that supply applications of solution methods described in the main text. At the end of the book, a helpful supplement discusses special functions, including spherical and cylindrical functions.

"This self-study text for practicing engineers and scientists explains the mathematical tools that are required for advanced technological applications, but are often not covered in undergraduate school. The authors (University of Central Florida) describe special functions, matrix methods, vector operations, the transformation laws of tensors, the analytic functions of a complex variable, integral transforms, partial differential equations, probability theory, and random processes. The book could also serve as a supplemental graduate text."--Memento.
