The topics include essential, advanced mathematics to access as a refresher or to add to the mathematical education and address the needs of engineers and scientists who need to expand their working knowledge. These topics are driven by applications and exercises with solutions are offered to confirm understanding.
Dean G. Duffy is a former mathematics instructor at the US Naval Academy and US Military Academy. He spent 25 years working on numerical weather prediction, oceanic wave modeling, and dynamical meteorology at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Prior to this, he was a numerical weather prediction officer in the US Air Force. He earned his Ph.D. in meteorology from MIT. Dr. Duffy has written several books on transform methods, engineering mathematics, and mixed boundary value problems including Advanced Engineering Mathematics with MatLab, fifth edition and Green's Functions with Applications, Second Edition, published by CRC Press.
