Multidimensional Differential and Integral Calculus: A Practical Approach - Tapa blanda

Acerca del autor

Giorgio Riccardi is Associate Professor at the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, Italy. His research activities concern applications of Complex Analysis to two-dimensional vortex dynamics, numerical and theoretical study of bubble dynamics, two-dimensional fluid-structure interaction handled by means of suitable conformal mappings and numerical simulation of relativistic flows.

Bruno Antonio Cifra is a teacher of Mathematics and Physics at the Ettore Majorana High School in Latina, Italy, and Professor of Geometry and Mathematical Analysis at Sapienza University of Rome. His scientific interests focused initially on operator algebras in the context of relativistic quantum field theory. Subsequently, exploiting his expertise as a musician, he worked on the mathematical coding of musical systems and supersystems, and he is currently involved in musical representations of mathematical models.

Enrico De Bernardis is Senior Research Scientist at the Institute of Marine Engineering – National Research Council of Italy. Starting with a main expertise in aerodynamic noise, his research interests have moved to the investigation of underwater noise from ship propulsion systems. In this field he is currently working on fundamental issues in bubble dynamics and cavitation.

De la contraportada

This textbook proposes an informal access to the most important issues of multidimensional differential and integral calculus. The traditional style--characterized by listing definitions, theorems, and proofs--is replaced by a conversational approach, primarily oriented to applications. The topics covered, developing along the usual path of a textbook for undergraduate courses, are always introduced by thoroughly carried out examples. This drives the reader in building the capacity of properly use the theoretical tools to model and solve practical problems. To situate the contents within a historical perspective, the book is accompanied by a number of links to the biographies of all scientists mentioned as leading actors in the development of the theory.
