This is surely one of the best if not the best applied mathematics text on topics related to continuum mechanics. The chapters on approximation and scale and dimensional analysis are clear, concise and very well motivated from a physical standpoint. The text emphasizes that physical insight and approximation go hand in hand toward the goal of understanding.

It would be very useful to have an occasional digression onto numerical methods, but as it stands the text is a classic. I hope it never goes out of print!

Another classic of the genre. Lin and Segel are demigods of the math textbook world. If you want to know what hard math is useful for in the REAL WORLD: this is the book. Beware: this is not for the layperson.

This is an extremely rich book explaining the details of several classic methods of applied mathematics, particularly differential equations and perturbation methods. The chapter on dimensional analysis, scaling and simplification is, in my opinion, the clearest and most lucid exposition anyone can read on these subjects. Wonderful book that is also a (mathematical) pleasure to read.

Good description of the product. Fair price and fast shipping!
