Practical Asymptotics

‘Kozyreff’s book is incredibly comprehensive: it provides a wealth of new examples to demonstrate classic techniques (Matched Asymptotic Expansions, Multiple Scales etc.) while also covering more unusual, but increasingly important, topics like Discrete and Exponential Asymptotics. Throughout, Kozyreff keeps the student in mind, from the careful integration of code to facilitate algebraic manipulations to a wealth of exercises with solutions provided in an Appendix.’ Dominic Vella, University of Oxford
‘This is just the book I wish had been available when I was a grad student. I have been a user of various bits of Fasymptotic theory, but there are other quite basic concepts that have remained a mystery to me. Instead of trying to prove theorems or present theory that would apply in all possible cases, Kozyreff quietly takes you through example after example, slowly building up your intuition and giving you the chance to practice with examples and solutions. Not only would I teach using this book if I had the chance, but I would first take the course myself!’ Alan Champneys, University of Bristol

Gregory Kozyreff is Senior Research Associate of the Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique – FNRS in the Physics Department at Université Libre de Bruxelles. His research centres on applying asymptotic techniques in nonlinear optics, elasticity, photonics (including photovoltaics), fluid mechanics, and pattern formation. He received the De Donder prize in mathematical physics from the Belgian Royal Academy and co-authored the book ‘Applied Solid Mechanics’ (2008).
