Description
'The current book is an attractive fresh look at the subject by a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering … Most chapters have a modest number of exercises. There is a very nice bibliography.' Bill Satzer, MAA Reviews
'The current book is an attractive fresh look at the subject by a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering … Most chapters have a modest number of exercises. There is a very nice bibliography.' Bill Satzer, MAA Reviews
'This well-written book contains a large amount of material … will also be useful for scientists from application areas, in particular, those from engineering and physics.' Vicenţiu D. Rădulescu, Mathematical Reviews
'Overall, the text is clear and provides an excellent introduction to the calculus of variations for engineers and applied scientists looking for a concise exposition of the theory with numerous applications. Several historical notes appear throughout the text, which helps students understand the overall framework of variational calculus.' Joel Storch, IEEE Systems Control Magazine
A graduate of Lehigh University and former National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Kevin W. Cassel is Associate Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). He has been a visiting researcher at the University of Manchester and University College London, and is a visiting professor at the University of Palermo, Italy. Professor Cassel's research utilizes computational fluid dynamics in conjunction with advanced analytical methods to address problems in bio-fluids, unsteady aerodynamics, multiphase flow, and cryogenic fluid flow and heat transfer. Dr Cassel is an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and his honors include IIT's University Excellence in Teaching Award (2008) and Ralph L. Barnett Excellence in Teaching Award (2007, 2001), the 2002 Alfred Noble Prize, and the Army Research Office Young Investigator Award (1998–2001).
