Based on courses taught to undergraduate and graduate students, the book can also be used for self-study by biologists, chemists, astronomers, engineers and geoscientists.
The study of complex variables is beautiful from a purely mathematical point of view, and very useful for solving a wide array of problems arising in applications.
In addition to theory, this study focuses on practical application and computer implementation in a coherent introduction to boundary integrals, boundary element and singularity methods for steady and unsteady flow at zero Reynolds numbers.
In this book the authors give a coherent account of some of the ways in which mathematics can both give insight into viscous flows and suggest analogies and implications for other branches of applied mathematics.
