KwangWei - Advanced Engineering Analysis.pm1d 2/14/2012, 11:29 AM September 30, 2011 8:42 World Scientific Book - 9in x 6in aea Preface A little over half a century ago, it was said that even an ingenious per- son could not be an engineer unless he had nearly perfect skills with the logarithmic slide rule. The advent of the computer changed this situa- tion crucially; at present, many young engineers have never heard of the slide rule. The computer has profoundly changed the mathematical side of the engineering profession. Symbolic manipulation programs can cal- culate integrals and solve ordinary differential equations better and faster than professional mathematicians can. Computers also provide solutions to differential equations in numerical form. The easy availability of mod- ern graphics packages means that many engineers prefer such approximate solutions even when exact analytical solutions are available. Because engineering courses must provide an understanding of the fun- damentals, they continue to focus on simple equations and formulas that are easy to explain and understand. Moreover, it is still true that stu- dents must develop some analytical abilities. But the practicing engineer, armed with a powerful computer and sophisticated canned programs, em- ploys models of processes and objects that are mathematically well beyond the traditional engineering background. The mathematical methods used by engineers have become quite sophisticated. With insufficient base knowl- edge to understand these methods, engineers may come to believe that the computer is capable of solving any problem. Worse yet, they may decide to accept nearly any formal result provided by a computer as long as it was generated by a program of a known trademark. But mathematical methods are restricted. Certain problems may ap- pear to fall within the nominal solution capabilities of a computer program and yet lie well beyond those capabilities. Nowadays, the properties of so- phisticated models and numerical methods are explained using terminology v September 30, 2011 8:42 World Scientific Book - 9in x 6in aea vi Advanced Engineering Analysis from functional analysis and the modern theory of differential equations. Without understanding terms such as “weak solution” and “Sobolev space”, one cannot grasp a modern convergence proof or follow a rigorous discus- sion of the restrictions placed on a mathematical model. Unfortunately, the mathematical portion of the engineering curriculum remains preoccupied with 19th century topics, even omitting the calculus of variations and other classical subjects. It is, nevertheless, increasingly more important for the engineer to understand the theoretical underpinning of his instrumentation than to have an ability to calculate integrals or generate series solutions of differential equations. The present text offers rigorous insight and will enable an engineer to communicate effectively with the mathematicians who develop models and methods for machine computation. It should prove useful to those who wish to employ modern mathematical methods with some depth of under- standing. The book constitutes a substantial revision and extension of the earlier book The Calculus of Variations and Functional Analysis, written by the first two authors. A new chapter (Chapter 2) provides applications of the calculus of variations to nonstandard problems in mechanics. Numerous exercises (most with extensive hints) have been added throughout. The numbering system is as follows. All definitions, theorems, corol- laries, lemmas, remarks, conventions, and examples are numbered consecu- tively by chapter (thus Definition 1.7 is followed by Lemma 1.8). Equations are numbered independently, again by chapter. We would like to thank ourWorld Scientific editor, Mr. Yeow-Hwa Quek. Leonid P.
