Résumé : |
The objective of the book can still today be expressed almost as in the preface to the first German edition. Since the seventeenth century, physical intuition has served as a vital source for mathematical problems and methods. Recent trends and fashions have, however, weakened the connection between mathematics and physics; mathematicians, turning away from the roots of mathematics in intuition, have concentrated on refinement and emphasized the postulational side of mathematics, and a times have overlooked the unity of their science with physics and other field. |
Note de contenu : |
Au sommaire :
- The algebra of linear transformations and quadratic forms
- Series expansions of arbitrary functions
- Linear integral equations
- The calculus of variations
- Vibration and eigenvalue problems
- Application of the calculus of variations to eigenvalue problems
- Special functions defined by eigenvalue problems |
