Fundamentalsof LinearSystems forPhysicalScientists andEngineersN.N. PuriRutgers University, New Jersey,USA

Thanks to the advent of inexpensive computing, it ispossible to analyze, compute, and develop resultsthat were unthinkable in the '60s. Control systems,telecommunications, robotics, speech, vision, anddigital signal processing are but a few examples ofcomputing applications, and Fundamentals ofLinear Systems for Physical Scientists andEngineers is one of the few books that covers mostof the mathematical techniques required for thisbroad range of applications.

The book draws from diverse areas of engineeringand the physical sciences to cover the fundamentalsof linear systems. Assuming no prior knowledge ofcomplex mathematics on the part of the reader, theauthor uses his nearly 50 years of teaching experi-ence to address all of the necessary mathematicaltechniques. Original proofs, hundreds of examples,and proven theorems illustrate and clarify the materi-al.

This book:

• Includes an extensive table that providesLyapunov functions for differential equations andconditions of stability for the equilibrium solutions

• Presents information in an intuitive, step-by-stepmanner

• Addresses a breadth of highly relevant topics inlinear systems theory, from the introductory to amore advanced level

• Covers stochastic processes that are invaluable forfinancial engineering applications

This self-contained book sets itself apart from othertexts with its presentation of essential linear systemtheoretical concepts and coverage of both linear con-tinuous- and discrete-time systems. The textbook’smaterial and presentation reflect the pressures inengineering education to provide compact yet com-prehensive courses of instruction.

RandomPhenomenaFundamentals ofProbability andStatistics forEngineersBabatunde A. OgunnaikeUniversity of Delaware, Newark,USA

Many of the problems that engineers face involverandomly varying phenomena of one sort or anoth-er. However, if characterized properly, even such ran-domness and the resulting uncertainty are subject torigorous mathematical analysis.

Random Phenomena: Fundamentals ofProbability and Statistics for Engineers providesstudents with a working knowledge of how to solveengineering problems that involve randomly varyingphenomena. Basing his approach on the principle oftheoretical foundations before application, Dr.Ogunnaike presents a classroom-tested course ofstudy that explains how to master and use probabili-ty and statistics appropriately to deal with uncertain-ty in standard problems and those that are new andunfamiliar.

Giving students the tools and confidence toformulate practical solutions to problems,this book offers many useful features,including:

• A CD with data sets and worksheets• Unique case studies to illustrate the fundamentals

and applications of probability and foster under-standing of the random variable and its distribu-tion

• Examples of development, selection, and analysisof probability models for specific random vari-ables

• Presentation of core concepts and ideas behindstatistics and design of experiments

• Selected "special topics," including reliability andlife testing, quality assurance and control, andmultivariate analysis

As classic scientific boundaries continue to be restruc-tured, the use of engineering is spilling over intomore non-traditional areas, ranging from molecularbiology to finance. This book emphasizes fundamen-tals and a "first principles" approach to deal with thisevolution. It illustrates theory with practical examplesand case studies, equipping readers to deal with awide range of problems beyond those in the book.
