Features: This manual has been revised and expanded based on the first edition, comprising 26 chapters. The first 17 chapters retain most of the content from the first edition while also being modified and supplemented. Additionally, chapters 18–26 have been revised and expanded to cover ordinary differential equations and dynamical systems, scientific computing, combinatorics, graph theory, operations research, control theory, optimization methods, and mathematical modeling. The first edition's chapters on finite element methods, basic computer knowledge, and information theory have been removed, while new content on finite difference methods and dynamical systems, as well as important multivariate analysis, has been added. The manual is comprehensive, accurate, reliable, and emphasizes practical applications. It also focuses on organizational skill and includes a detailed index for easy reference. It is suitable for scientists, engineers, and students in science and engineering fields. The book consists of 26 chapters, covering elementary algebra, elementary geometry, trigonometry, analytical geometry, linear algebra, calculus, complex functions, ordinary differential equations and dynamical systems, partial differential equations, differential geometry, integral equations, variational methods, probability theory, modern mathematics topics, vector analysis, and tensor analysis.
