Mechanics introduces classical mechanics with a treatment that is mathematical, but involves only basic vector algebra and differential calculus of vector-valued functions of a real variable. Each chapter begins with an introduction to the topics under discussion. This is followed by precise definitions, propositions, and the theorems comprising the theme of the chapter. The results are further elucidated by illustrative examples and solved problems. Each chapter ends with exercises that help readers reinforce their understanding of the concepts.

Based on a series of lectures given to post-graduate students, this largely self-contained book makes distribution theory attainable to not only mathematics students, but also to those studying physics and engineering. It defines distributions using convergence concepts. Topics covered include Schwartz distributions, distributional derivatives, distributions of compact support, certain boundary value problems, and topological vector space theory.

Students who have taken courses in vibration often get the impression that the course is too mathematical in nature and generally beyond their comprehension. Mechanical Vibration Practice with Basic Theory erases that impression. The book adopts an unconventional approach. It presents only those mathematical tools that are most appropriate for solving practical problems, and it emphasizes figures of significance in mechanical vibration. The material is confined to problems endemic in the mechanical engineering industry, and it includes computer programs that are used to solve complicated problems.

This book offers an in-depth study and investigation into channel routing using multiple layers of interconnection. In particular, it deals with various large-scale, computationally intensive optimization problems that have specific applications in many technology-supported routing models. The author includes numerous examples and exercises along with many hard-copy solutions that illustrate the feasibility of different routing solutions. He also proposes efficient polynomial time heuristics for problem solving and mentions several problems that remain open, pointing the way for future research.

The subject of approximation theory plays an increasingly important role in applications to many branches of applied sciences and engineering. Fundamentals of Approximation Theory serves as both an introductory text as well as an advanced review of the field. It gives readers the core information to begin research in this domain and exposes them to complex analytic methods and techniques of functional analysis. The authors emphasize the connections between different branches of analysis with approximation theory - between the 'classical' and the 'abstract.' They also include noteworthy features such as K-functionals, Hermite-Birkhoff interpolation, Lagrange-Hermite-Fejér-type interpolation, and complex methods in the treatment of Fourier series.

Functional analysis is a powerful tool for solving a wide range of real-life problems. In particular, the concepts of generalized functions can sometimes be used to address problems where there might not be any solution in the classical sense. Function Spaces and Applications presents the work of leading mathematicians in this vital field. It explores the Orlicz-Sobolev spaces used to study the solutions of boundary value problems for partial differential equations and offers discussions on the density of smooth functions, imbedding properties, inequalities, trace theory, extension theorems, dual and interpolation theories, entropy, and approximation numbers.

Emphasizing physical understanding rather than the mathematical aspects, Vibratory Condition Monitoring of Machines discusses the basic principles behind the vibratory phenomena of rotating and reciprocating machines. It addresses the defects that influence vibratory phenomenon, instruments and analysis procedures for maintenance, vibration related standards, and the expert systems that help ensure effective maintenance programs. The author offers a minimal treatment of the mathematical aspects of the subject, focusing instead on imparting a physical understanding to help practicing engineers develop maintenance programs and operate machines efficiently.
