Integral Methods in Science and Engineering, Volume 1 Analytic Metho

Mathematical models—including those based on ordinary, partial differential, integral, and integro-differential equations—are indispensable tools for studying the physical world and its natural manifestations. Because of the usefulness of these models, it
