A CLEAR, PRACTICAL AND SELF-CONTAINED PRESENTATION OF THE METHODS OF ASYMPTOTICS AND PERTURBATION THEORY FOR OBTAINING APPROXIMATE ANALYTICAL SOLUTIONS TO DIFFERENTIAL AND DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS. AIMED AT TEACHING THE MOST USEFUL INSIGHTS IN APPROACHING NEW PROBLEMS, THE TEXT AVOIDS SPECIAL METHODS AND TRICKS THAT ONLY WORK FOR PARTICULAR PROBLEMS. INTENDED FOR GRADUATES AND ADVANCED UNDERGRADUATES, IT ASSUMES ONLY A LIMITED FAMILIARITY WITH DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS AND COMPLEX VARIABLES. THE PRESENTATION BEGINS WITH A REVIEW OF DIFFERENTIAL AND DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS, THEN DEVELOPS LOCAL ASYMPTOTIC METHODS FOR SUCH EQUATIONS, AND EXPLAINS PERTURBATION AND SUMMATION THEORY BEFORE CONCLUDING WITH AN EXPOSITION OF GLOBAL ASYMPTOTIC METHODS. EMPHASIZING APPLICATIONS, THE DISCUSSION STRESSES CARE RATHER THAN RIGOR AND RELIES ON MANY WELL-CHOSEN EXAMPLES TO TEACH READERS HOW AN APPLIED MATHEMATICIAN TACKLES PROBLEMS. THERE ARE 190 COMPUTER-GENERATED PLOTS AND TABLES COMPARING APPROXIMATE AND EXACT SOLUTIONS, OVER 600 PROBLEMS OF VARYING LEVELS OF DIFFICULTY, AND AN APPENDIX SUMMARIZING THE PROPERTIES OF SPECIAL FUNCTIONS.

Cr�ticas:

"This book is a reprint of the original published by McGraw-Hill \ref [MR0538168 (80d:00030)]. The only changes are the addition of the Roman numeral I to the title and the provision of a subtitle, "Asymptotic methods and perturbation theory". This latter improvement is much needed, as the original title suggested that this was a teaching book for undergraduate scientists and engineers. It is not, but is an excellent introduction to asymptotic and perturbation methods for master's degree students or beginning research students. Certain parts of it could be used for a course in asymptotics for final year undergraduates in applied mathematics or mathematical physics.

This is a book that has stood the test of time and I cannot but endorse the remarks of the original reviewer. It is written in a fresh and lively style and the many graphs and tables, comparing the results of exact and approximate methods, were in advance of its time. I have owned a copy of the original for over twenty years, using it on a regular basis, and, after the original had gone out of print, lending it to my research students. Springer-Verlag has done a great service to users of, and researchers in, asymptotics and perturbation theory by reprinting this classic." (A.D. Wood, Mathematical Reviews)

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
