Abstract
THE text of this volume is based upon courses of lectures given annually to engineering students in the University of Wisconsin. The aim of the authors is to provide a textbook which may not only appeal to students of applied science, but may also serve as a stepping-stone to more advanced mathematical treatises. A wholly rigorous and purely formal presentation has therefore not been attempted, since, as the authors wisely point out, such a course of detailed analysis would tend to bewilder many practical students and thus stifle their interest in mathematics.
