Advances in Mathematical Problems in Engineering Aerospace and Sciences

Alexandrov’s work was both original and extremely influential. This book gave rise to studying surfaces “in the large,” rejecting the limitations of smoothness, and reviving the style of Euclid. Progress in geometry in recent decades correlates with the resurrection of the synthetic methods of geometry and brings the ideas of Alexandrov once again into focus. This text is a classic that remains unsurpassed in its clarity and scope.

The text is organized into three parts: A Library of Elementary Functions (Chapter 1), Finite Mathematics (Chapters 2-7, 14), and Calculus (Chapters 8-13). My Lab™ Math is not included. Students, if My Lab Math is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN. My Lab Math should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.

Concepts of Combinatorial Optimization, is divided into three parts:
– On the complexity of combinatorial optimization problems, presenting basics about worst-case and randomized complexity;
– Classical solution methods, presenting the two most-known methods for solving hard combinatorial optimization problems, that are Branch-and-Bound and Dynamic Programming;
– Elements from mathematical programming, presenting fundamentals from mathematical programming based methods that are in the heart of Operations Research since the origins of this field.
