Sequences And Series : An Introduction, With Applications And Exercises

This book is addressed to all those who, after finishing the high school, wish a practical initiation in the domain of sequences and series. This is the first volume of the series "Mathematics for future engineers." To provide useful tools for (future) engineers and for specialists, in general, we put into evidence some practical applications of sequences and series (e.g., how to apply Lagrange's and Taylor's formulas to the calculus of approximations, the catenary expressed in terms of hyperbolic functions, etc.). We tried to make the involved mathematics as attractive as possible, by simplifying the presentation without loosing the mathematical rigor of the results. To increase accessibility and to encourage the reader to get a technical know-how about sequences and series, we provided for each newly introduced notion a series of applications and solved problems; each chapter ends by a section containing exercises and problems, each one of these being accompanied by hints and answers. The references contain, along with books, some links with sites which can be helpful for the reader.
