Advanced Mathematical Methods

Contents: 1. Laplace transform techniques for partial differential equations. 2. Fourier transform techniques for partial differential equations. 3. Calculus of variations. 4. Conformal mapping and applications. 5. Tensor analysis. Appendix − University Question Papers.

This book offers a clear exposition of advanced mathematical methods. It is designed as a text book for this subject taught across PG courses related to Civil Engineering offered at Anna University, Chennai and affiliated colleges.

Basic concepts are explained briefly. Each topic is illustrated through a number of solved examples. Problems from the recent question papers of Anna University are presented either as solved examples or exercise with answers. Detailed hints and solutions of the problems are given for the benefit of the students.
