商品簡介
Volterra's approach in this undergraduate text, a classic since its first publication by Blackie and Son, Glasgow in 1930 unifies the theory of functionals and of integral and integro-differential equations. Building upon his lectures in 1925, Volterra intended his work to serve as a framework for the first clear, systematic treatment of the domain of functionals. He moves from his discussion of functionals to the problems of the functional calculus and integral equations, the generalization of the analytic functions, the theory of composition and of permutable functions, and then to integro-differential equations and functional derivative equations. He closes with applications. This facsimile edition includes a biography of Volterra and a bibliography of his publications. Cited in Steen's Library Recommendations for Undergraduate Mathematics.
