Which book for Advanced Engineering Math ?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommendations for advanced engineering mathematics textbooks, particularly for topics such as Differential Equations, Complex Analysis, and Fourier Transforms. Users suggest Greenberg's "Advanced Engineering Mathematics" as a preferred choice due to its strong treatment of linear algebra and partial differential equations (PDEs). Kreyzig's book is also mentioned positively, while Wylie and Barrett's 5th edition is advised against. The high price of Greenberg's book is noted, with a suggestion to seek used copies.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Differential Equations
  • Familiarity with Complex Analysis
  • Knowledge of Fourier Transforms
  • Basic concepts of Linear Algebra
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Kreyzig's Advanced Engineering Mathematics" for its coverage of engineering topics
  • Explore "Greenberg's Advanced Engineering Mathematics" for its treatment of linear algebra and PDEs
  • Investigate alternatives to Wylie and Barrett's 5th edition
  • Look into resources on Basic Electronics, specifically focusing on transistors
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in engineering fields, particularly those focusing on advanced mathematics, differential equations, and electronics.

I have used Thomas' Calculus , now what should I consider next (mainly for Differential Equations/Complex Analysis/Fourier Transforms etc.) I heard Kreyzig is good , any recommendations on that ?

PS: Actually I found Thomas' to be very good, but when I read Courant's Calculus text, I felt as if I was doing very elementary text.

PS2: Oh , and if there's an electronics guy reading this, i am also looking for a text on Basic electronics of transistors.

Thx all !

I like Greenberg's Advanced Engineering Mathematics book the best of the ones that I have looked through. His chapters on complex analysis and ODEs are pretty typical, but I like his treatment of linear algebra and PDEs better than the other engineering math books I have read. I own the 5th edition of Wylie and Barrett, which I would not recommend in general. The price of Greenberg is pure robbery, however. I would look for used copies.
