Includes index.

Through four previous editions of Advanced Engineering Mathematics with MATLAB, the author presents a wide variety of topics needed by today's engineers. For the fifth edition of that book, available now, this tome has been broken into two parts: topics currently needed in mathematics courses and a new standard-alone volume presenting topics not often included in these courses and consequently unknown to engineering students and many professionals. The overall structure of this new book consists of two parts: transform methods and random processes. Built upon a foundation of applied complex variables, the first part covers advanced transform methods, as well as z-transforms and Hilbert transforms -- transforms of particular interest to systems, communication and electrical engineers. This portion concludes with Green's function, a powerful method of analyzing systems. The second portion presents random processes -- processes that more accurately model physical and biological engineering. Of particular interest is the inclusion of stochastic calculus. The author continues to offer a wealth of examples and applications from the scientific and engineering literature, a highlight of his previous books. As before, theory is presented first, then examples, and then drill problems. Answers are given in the back of the book. This book is all about the future: The purpose of this book is not only to educate the present generation of engineers but also the next. "The main strength is the text is written from an engineering perspective. The majority of my students are engineers. The physical examples are related to problems of interest to the engineering students." Lea Jenkins, Clemson University
