"So far as I remember, I have never seen an Author's Pre face which had any purpose but one - to furnish reasons for the publication of the Book. " (Mark Twain) "Gauss' dictum, "when a building is completed no one should be able to see any trace of the scaffolding," is often used by mathematicians as an excuse for neglecting the motivation behind their own work and the history of their field. For tunately, the opposite sentiment is gaining strength, and numerous asides in this Essay show to which side go my sympathies. " (B. B. Mandelbrot, 1982) 'This gives us a good occasion to work out most of the book until the next year. " (the Authors in a letter, dated c. kt. 29, 1980, to Springer Verl...
The subject of this book is the solution of stiff differential equations and of differential-algebraic systems. This second edition contains new material including new numerical tests, recent progress in numerical differential-algebraic equations, and improved FORTRAN codes. From the reviews: "A superb book...Throughout, illuminating graphics, sketches and quotes from papers of researchers in the field add an element of easy informality and motivate the text." --MATHEMATICS TODAY
This book familiarizes the mathematical community with an analytic tool that is capable of so many applications and presents a list of open problems which might be amenable to analysis with order stars.
This book deals with methods for solving nonstiff ordinary differential equations. The reader will benefit from many illustrations, a historical and didactic approach, and computer programs. This new edition has been rewritten and new material has been included.

Mathematics and engineering are inevitably interrelated, and this interaction will steadily increase as the use of mathematical modelling grows. Although mathematicians and engineers often misunderstand one another, their basic approach is quite similar, as is the historical development of their respective disciplines. The purpose of this Math Primer is to provide a brief introduction to those parts of mathematics which are, or could be, useful in engineering, especially bioengineering. The aim is to summarize the ideas covered in each subject area without going into exhaustive detail. Formulas and equations have not been avoided, but every effort has been made to keep them simple in the hop...
Articles include expository or survey papers focusing on important advances in applied or computational mathematics, or papers outlining the mathematical and computational challenges in scientific or engineering applications. Other features include essays, book reviews, classroom and industrial notes, and problems and solutions.
