title: Perturbation Methods in the Computer Age
author:  David C. Wilcox 
description: "As was the author's intent, there is an in-depth discussion of the many advantages of combining a perturbation analysis with computational methods...it is well organized and written with a clear and readable style. The solutions manual is comprehensive and quite helpful." -- <i>G. Emanuel, <i>AIAA Journal</i>, February, 1996</i><br /><br />"Practicing engineers who want to learn about perturbation methods and instructors who teach a one-semester perturbation methods course will find Perturbation Methods in the Computer Age delightful, concise, and very readable. The author does a commendable job of explaining and illustrating the concepts. The instructor's solution manual is excellent...some of the solutions are five pages long." -- <i>L. Zavodney, <i>Applied Mechanics Reviews</i>, January, 1996</i><br /><br />"The book is very clearly written and is accompanied by a solutions manual, making it an excellent choice for a textbook in a graduate course on perturbation methods. It would also be useful for researchers who are interested in learning these techniques for the first time." -- <i>R. H. Rand, <i>SIAM Review</i>, September, 1996</i><br /><br />"The book is very nice and I enjoyed going through it. It strikes me as a streamlined version of Bender and Orszag which I think people will find useful." -- <i>P. Newton: USC, Pre-publication review</i>
