Engineering Mathematics, Volume II

by A.P. Dwivedi

This book is designed to serve as a basic text for the first-year undergraduate students of all branches of engineering for a course in engineering mathematics.
This text covers applications of linear differential equations, series solution of the second order differential equations, Bessel functions, Legendre equations, applications of Laplace transforms and the Fourier series. It also discusses the applications of partial differential equations in an easy-to-comprehend manner.

All the topics are discussed systematically and the emphasis has been laid on making the concepts clearer.


KEY FEATURES

• Provides numerous worked-out examples to help students learn the skill of problem solving.
• Offers extensive opportunities for students to practice through numerous objective-type questions.
• Includes selected problems asked in examinations (with their solutions).
