This book is a survey of asymptotic methods set in the current applied research context of wave propagation. It stresses rigorous analysis in addition to formal manipulations. Asymptotic expansions developed in the text are justified rigorously, and students are shown how to obtain solid error estimates for asymptotic formulae.

Asymptotic expansions developed in the text are justified rigorously, and students are shown how to obtain solid error estimates for asymptotic formulae.

Applied Asymptotic Analysis, volume 75 of the Graduate Studies in Mathematics series published by the American Mathematical Society, is a textbook intended for graduate students or advanced undergraduate students.

asymptotic approx Figure 1. In the top gure we see how the quadratic function f(x; ) = x2 + x 1 behaves while below we see how its roots evolve, as is increased from 0. The dotted curves in the lower gure are the asymptotic approximations for the roots.

In applied mathematics, asymptotic analysis is used to build numerical methods to approximate equation solutions. In mathematical statistics and probability theory , asymptotics are used in analysis of long-run or large-sample behaviour of random variables and estimators.
