3:45 p.m., Dec. 18, 2002-- Faculty in the Department of Mathematical Sciences have written a record number of books during the past year. Book publication is not the primary venue for disseminating research results in mathematical sciences, which makes the output even more laudatory, according to Philip Broadbridge, professor and chairperson of the department.
The six books by five faculty members cover diverse areas, including calculus education, nanomechanical systems, water infiltration, computational science and industrial mathematics, Broadbridge said.
Robert P. Gilbert, Unidel Professor of Mathematical Sciences, is coauthor of “Computer-Supported Science.” He and George Hsiao, professor, also wrote “Maple Projects for Differential Equations.”
Tobin A. Driscoll, assistant professor, is coauthor of “Schwarz-Christoffel Mapping.”
John A. Pelesko, assistant professor, is coauthor of “Modeling MEMS and NEMS.”
Broadbridge is a coauthor of “Industrial Mathematics: Case Studies in the Diffusion of Heat and Matter,” Australian Mathematical Society Lecture Notes Series, and “Infiltration Theory for Hydrologic Applications.”
