From the Back Cover
Erwin Kreyszig’s Advanced Engineering Mathematics, 9th Edition introduces engineers and computer scientists to advanced math topics as they relate to practical problems.

In today’s world of increasingly complex engineering problems, powerful new mathematical and computational methods, and enormous computer capacities, you can get overwhelmed by little things you will only occasionally use. Instead, you need to learn how to think mathematically and gain a firm grasp of the interrelationship among theory, computing, and experiment. That’s why Kreyszig’s text helps you develop a solid understanding of the basic principles and methods of advanced engineering mathematics in all three phases of problem solving: Modeling, Solving, and Interpreting. This best–selling text is known for its comprehensive coverage, careful and correct mathematics, outstanding exercises, and self–contained chapters.

Customer Reviews

Excellent !!!
Having worked thru' the Kreyszig book as an ugrad in EE, back in the late 70s in India, and then reading the various editions of the same book by Prof. Kreyszig, I am appalled at the mindless apathy for the book as shown in the Amazon website by some readers. For a lack of a better word, I believe that most of these readers have a very warped up sense of applied mathematics - that is mathematics as it applies to solution of engineering problems. Kreyszig's book is a goldmine of information, and its latest edition contains a whole slew of carefully chosen problems that are worked out plus homework exercises to aid the student in mastering the necessary analytical techniques essential to solving problems.

I have observed that of late in USA there is a lot of acerbic hostility towards mathematics. Most of the readers (including the teacher and the taught) express their displeasure if they cannot " sell " mathematics like some commodities in a grocery store. The students on the other hand, being too pampered by the existing escapism in a society are reluctant to accept the rigors of any mathematical training and hence are most unhappy if a math. text demands some discipline in terms of focussed concentration and thinking. It is excepected and unfortunate that such critics shall continue to judge such well-written and comprehensive texts on applied mathematics (such as Kreyszig) most boring and their displeasure is a substitute for more cogent and incisive analytical review.

an absolutely superb book!

This is an absolutely great book. At over 1000 pages it's a real opus - covering everything from ordinary differential equations, linear algebra, vector calculus, fourier analysis, complex analysis and probability. It's exceptionally well written - with plenty of clear examples, diagrams and exercises - constantly cross referencing back to the particular idea or formula that an example is employing. It presupposes only elementary calculus - and so makes an excellent university textbook to accompany study, or as a self-study book to further your maths knowledge.
I wish all maths books were this well written!

An excellent all round text for reference or detailed study.
This excellent text provides both reference material and in depth tuition, covering a wide range of areas of mathematics. Each chapter guides the reader through the subject matter, with worked examples and exercises (answers to odd numbered questions are in the back.) Many examples and problems demonstrate the practical applications for the mathematics studied, in the areas of engineering, electronics and physics. This comprehensive text is ideally suited for those seeking an all round post-A-level / undergraduate /postgraduate text. An absolute must for all serious scientists!
