- This book is a guide on conformal mappings, their applications in physics
- and technology, and their computer-aided visualization. Conformal mapping
- (CM) is a classical part of complex analysis having numerous applications to
- mathematical physics. This modern handbook on CM includes recent results
- such as the classification of all triangles and quadrangles that can be
- mapped by elementary functions, mappings realized by elliptic integrals and
- Jacobian elliptic functions, and mappings of doubly connected domains. This
- handbook considers a wide array of applications, among which are the
- construction of a Green function for various boundary-value problems,
- streaming around airfoils, the impact of a cylinder on the surface of a
- liquid, and filtration under a dam.
-
- With more than 160 domains included in the catalog of mapping, Handbook of
- Conformal Mapping with Computer-Aided Visualization is more complete and
- useful than any previous volume covering this important topic. The authors
- have developed an interactive ready-to-use software program for constructing
- conformal mappings and visualizing plane harmonic vector fields. The book
- includes a 5.25" floppy disk for IBM-compatible computers that contains the
- CONFORM program.
-
- This book is addressed to students in applied mathematics studying complex
- analysis and its applications, and to specialists using CM for calculations
- of potential vector fields in science and engineering disciplines; also
- researchers, engineers, undergraduates, and postgraduates involved with
- aerodynamics, hydromechanics, hydraulics, elasticity, heat engineering,
- radioelectronics, and electron optics.
