Integral Methods in Science and Engineering, Volume 2 Computational Methods [Hardcover]

The two volumes contain 65 chapters, which are based on talks presented by reputable researchers in the field at the Tenth International Conference on Integral Methods in Science and Engineering. The chapters address a wide variety of methodologies, from the construction of boundary integral methods to the application of integration-based analytic and computational techniques in almost all aspects of today's technological world.

Both volumes are useful references for a broad audience of professionals, including pure and applied mathematicians, physicists, biologists, and mechanical, civil, and electrical engineers, as well as graduate students, who use integration as a fundamental technique in their research.

The second in a two-volume set, this is a collection of up-to-date research results that show how to set up an important class of tools using mathematical models based on integral methods, and how to use them in specific problems of science and engineering.

TheinternationalconferencesonIntegralMethodsinScienceandEngineering (IMSE) are biennial opportunities for academics and other researchers whose work makes essential use of analytic or numerical integration methods to discuss their latest results and exchange views on the development of novel techniques of this type. The ?rst two conferences in the series, IMSE1985 and IMSE1990, were hosted by the University of TexasArlington. At the latter, the IMSE c- sortium was created and charged with organizing these conferences under the guidance of an International Steering Committee. Subsequently, IMSE1993 took place at Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan, IMSE1996 at the University of Oulu, Finland, IMSE1998 at Michigan Technological University, Houghton, MI, USA, IMSE2000 in Ban?, AB, Canada, IMSE2002 at the University of ? Saint-Etienne, France, IMSE2004 at the University of Central Florida, - lando, FL, USA, and IMSE2006 at Niagara Falls, ON,ls$
