Book Description

August 1982 0070721882 978-0070721883 5th
This text aims to provide students in engineering with a sound presentation of post-calculus mathematics. It features numerous examples, many involving engineering applications, and contains all mathematical techniques for engineering degrees. The book also contains over 5000 exercises, which range from routine practice problems to more difficult applications. In addition, theoretical discussions illuminate principles, indicate generalizations and establish limits within which a given technique may or may not be safely used.
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Textbook, January 9, 2000
If you are to have one book on the subjects covered herein, this is the one book to buy. It could easily be the only book an engineer would need these days if it covered tensor calculus, difference equations, probability theory and an introduction to the math theory behind discrete time sampling systems (Z transforms, DFT, FFT, etc).

5.0 out of 5 stars Barrett was a good choice to update the book., July 23, 2002

This review is from: Advanced Engineering Mathematics (Hardcover)
This book on advanced engineering mathematics had been for a long time a sort of cult book among engineering students at Montana State in Bozeman, and was used for MSU's year-long junior course in applied mathematics in the math dept. Apparently, Wylie was getting on in years and wanted a co-author. Having studied applied math with Prof. Barrett at Bozeman, I can definitely say he was the right person to co-author this book, as he has a real reverence for applied math and an insistence upon exact, clear thinking. This is not to say the book is representative of the mathematical style of Western state universities as Wylie got his Ph.D. from Cornell, I believe. Actually, the style reminds me of the books by Churchill, i.e., everything clearly presented with a traditional use of proofs and problems that inspire rather than pander to the student. An extremely useful and enjoyable book for serious students of applied math and advanced engineering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Arfken's and many others, February 14, 2009
Wylie and Barrett's book, though not very popular, is very comprehensive and provides problems ranging from a few basic to very difficult ones. I personally favor this book than Arfken's though Arfken's is way more popular. I tried to do as many problems in the book as possible. There is student's complete solutions to the book, written in Chinese, which I found to be very helpful.
