Fikhtengol'ts' Foundations of Mathematical Analysis, Volume II

by G. M. Fikhtengol'ts

Translated by Valery Manokhin, PhD

The second volume of the university course in mathematical analysis by the founder of the Leningrad school of the theory of functions, in a faithful new English edition. Ten chapters continue directly from Volume I: numerical series and infinite products; sequences and series of functions, power series and approximate computation; improper integrals and integrals depending on a parameter, with the Eulerian integrals; implicit functions and functional determinants; line, double, surface and triple integrals, the formulas of Green, Ostrogradsky and Stokes, and the elements of field theory; Fourier series and the Fourier integral. A concluding sketch points towards differential equations, the calculus of variations, complex and real analysis and functional analysis. 192 numbered articles (Nos. 234–425), 88 figures, 412 pages with an alphabetical index.
