This book is derived from lecture notes for a course on Fourier analysis for engineering and science students at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level. Beyond teaching specific topics and techniques—all of which are important in many areas of engineering and science—the author's goal is to help engineering and science students cultivate more advanced mathematical know-how and increase confidence in learning and using mathematics, as well as appreciate the coherence of the subject. He promises the readers a little magic on every page. The section headings are all recognizable to mathematicians, but the arrangement and emphasis are directed toward students from other disciplines. The material also serves as a foundation for advanced courses in signal processing and imaging. There are over 200 problems, many of which are oriented to applications, and a number use standard software. An unusual feature for courses meant for engineers is a more detailed and accessible treatment of distributions and the generalized Fourier transform. There is also more coverage of higher-dimensional phenomena than is found in most books at this level.
This textbook invites readers to dive into the mathematical ideas of linear algebra. Offering a gradual yet rigorous introduction, the author illuminates the structure, order, symmetry, and beauty of the topic. Opportunities to explore, master, and extend the theory abound, with generous exercise sets embodying the Hungarian tradition of active problem-solving. Determinants, matrices, and systems of linear equations begin the book. This unique ordering offers insights from determinants early on, while also admitting re-ordering if desired. Chapters on vector spaces, linear maps, and eigenvalues and eigenvectors follow. Bilinear functions and Euclidean spaces build on the foundations laid in ...
A text for interactive Calculus courses, featuring innovative problems This sixth edition of Applied Calculus engages students with well-constructed problems and content to deepen understanding. The Rule of Four approach is supported in the text, where concepts are presented graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally. Students with a range of learning styles will be able to progress in the subject as they are exposed to a range of exercises. This is a loose-leaf edition.
A First Course in Stochastic Calculus is a complete guide for advanced undergraduate students to take the next step in exploring probability theory and for master's students in mathematical finance who would like to build an intuitive and theoretical understanding of stochastic processes. This book is also an essential tool for finance professionals who wish to sharpen their knowledge and intuition about stochastic calculus. Louis-Pierre Arguin offers an exceptionally clear introduction to Brownian motion and to random processes governed by the principles of stochastic calculus. The beauty and power of the subject are made accessible to readers with a basic knowledge of probability, linear a...
Most introduction to proofs textbooks focus on the structure of rigorous mathematical language and only use mathematical topics incidentally as illustrations and exercises. In contrast, this book gives students practice in proof writing while simultaneously providing a rigorous introduction to number systems and their properties. Understanding the properties of these systems is necessary throughout higher mathematics. The book is an ideal introduction to mathematical reasoning and proof techniques, building on familiar content to ensure comprehension of more advanced topics in abstract algebra and real analysis with over 700 exercises as well as many examples throughout. Readers will learn a...
The goal of the book is to present a tapestry of ideas from various areas of mathematics in a clear and rigorous yet informal and friendly way. Prerequisites include undergraduate courses in real analysis and in linear algebra, and some knowledge of complex analysis. --from publisher description.

An Introduction to Real Analysis gives students of mathematics and related sciences an introduction to the foundations of calculus, and more generally, to the analytic way of thinking. The authors' style is a mix of formal and informal, with the intent of illustrating the practice of analysis and emphasizing the process as much as the outcome. The book is intended for use in a one- or two-term course for advanced undergraduates in mathematics and related fields who have completed two or three terms of a standard university calculus sequence.
Lighten up about mathematics! Have fun. If you read this book, you will have to endure bad math puns and jokes and out-of-date pop culture references. You'll learn some really cool mathematics to boot. In the process, you will immerse yourself in living, thinking, and breathing logical reasoning. We like to call this proofs, which to some is a bogey word, but to us it is a boogie word. You will learn how to solve problems, real and imagined. After all, math is a game where, although the rules are pretty much set, we are left to our imaginations to create. Think of this book as blueprints, but you are the architect of what structures you want to build. Make sure you lay a good foundation, for otherwise your buildings might fall down. To help you through this, we guide you to think and plan carefully. Our playground consists of basic math, with a loving emphasis on number theory. We will encounter the known and the unknown. Ancient and modern inquirers left us with elementary-sounding mathematical puzzles that are unsolved to this day. You will learn induction, logic, set theory, arithmetic, and algebra, and you may one day solve one of these puzzles.
