Description

Applications to many fields of mathematical modelling
Clear, logical exposition
Numerous examples, detailed proofs, and cross-referencing aid understanding
Companion website provides further examples and problems

This graduate level text covers the theory of stochastic integration, an important area of Mathematics that has a wide range of applications, including financial mathematics and signal processing. Aimed at graduate students in Mathematics, Statistics, Probability, Mathematical Finance, and Economics, the book not only covers the theory of the stochastic integral in great depth but also presents the associated theory (martingales, Levy processes) and important examples (Brownian motion, Poisson process).

Readership: Graduates and researchers in Mathematics, Statistics, Probability, Mathematical Finance, and Economics

Nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations: Problems and Solutions
A Sourcebook for Scientists and Engineers

(paper)
ISBN-10: 0-19-921203-1
ISBN-13: 978-0-19-921203-3
Estimated publication date: August 2007
450 pages, 272 illus., 246x171 mm

Description

Over 500 exercises and fully worked solutions
Can be easily adapted for coursework or self-study
An excellent accompaniment to the 4th edition of Nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations (Jordan and Smith, OUP, 2007)
Over 250 figures
Ideal for lecturers and students in science and engineering

An ideal companion to the new 4th Edition of Nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations by Jordan and Smith (OUP, 2007), this text contains over 500 problems and fully-worked solutions in nonlinear differential equations. With 272 figures and diagrams, subjects covered include phase diagrams in the plane, classification of equilibrium points, geometry of the phase plane, perturbation methods, forced oscillations, stability, Mathieu's equation, Liapunov methods, bifurcations and manifolds, homoclinic bifurcation, and Melnikov's method.

The problems are of variable difficulty; some are routine questions, others are longer and expand on concepts discussed in Nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations 4th Edition, and in most cases can be adapted for coursework or self-study.

Both texts cover a wide variety of applications whilst keeping mathematical prequisites to a minimum making these an ideal resource for students and lecturers in engineering, mathematics and the sciences.

Readership: An ideal resource for students and lecturers in engineering, mathematics and the sciences.
