Building on the foundations laid in the companion text Modern Engineering Mathematics, this book gives an extensive treatment of some of the advanced areas of mathematics that have applications in various fields of engineering, particularly as tools for computer-based system modelling, analysis and design.

The philosophy of learning by doing helps students develop the ability to use mathematics with understanding to solve engineering problems. A wealth of engineering examples and the integration of MATLAB, MAPLE and R further support students.

The silence was never the end. It was the signal for the harvest.The Global Frequency has been silenced, but the world is far from safe. Alexandra and the survivors of the Aegis thought they had won when Cole grounded the signal, but they were only half right. The static didn't vanish—it evolved.As the bruised indigo skies of Earth settle into an eerie calm, a new vibration begins to rise. It is melodic, rhythmic, and undeniably alien. It isn't coming from the Institute or any human broadcast; it is coming from the deep reaches of the vacuum of space. The obsidian satellite has unfolded like a blooming flower, turning its lens toward the stars and acting as a beacon for something that has been waiting for forty years to return.Alexandra now carries a terrifying secret beneath her skin. The silver tint of the Apex has been replaced by a golden translucence—a physical marking that she is no longer entirely human. She is the first of the "e;harvested,"e; a bridge between Earth's dying frequencies and a vast, celestial intelligence.As the melodic chime of the Stellar Frequency begins to resonate through every electronic device on the planet, the true nature of the Sickness is revealed. It wasn't a plague; it was a preparation.With Elias's haunting warning echoing in her mind—"e;We're the harvest, and the reapers just arrived"e;—Alexandra must lead a desperate resistance against an enemy that operates on a cosmic scale. To save what remains of humanity, she must learn to master the new frequency before it rewrites the very fabric of their reality.The broadcast has changed. The galaxy is listening. And the harvest has begun.

When a series of influential figures die in scenes that are calm, orderly, and officially unremarkable, Special Agent Maya Vance recognizes something others are eager to dismiss: these deaths are not accidents, and they are not random. They are prepared.Each victim appears to have arranged their own ending—records revised, language corrected, histories quietly aligned—before dying in ways that invite closure rather than scrutiny. As Maya traces the pattern, she realizes the violence isn't in the act itself, but in the system surrounding it: an unseen mechanism that preserves power by deciding whose stories may continue and whose must be finished.Maya's investigation unfolds as her own physical limits tighten. Living with a progressive autoimmune illness, she must navigate an escalating case while her body increasingly resists speed, certainty, and endurance. The result is not a chase, but a confrontation between timing and consequence, visibility and control. The closer Maya comes to understanding the structure behind the deaths, the more she becomes part of the sequence herself—measured, anticipated, and pressured to disappear quietly.Continuity is a literary thriller about institutional memory, sanctioned silence, and the quiet efficiencies that allow injustice to persist without spectacle. It asks what happens when systems mistake stability for morality, when revision replaces accountability, and when survival depends not on winning, but on refusing to vanish.Nothing here ends cleanly.That is the point.

Six months ago, the world learned how to sing.Not with voices, but with thought—an all‑encompassing resonance that threaded itself through cities, bodies, and memory itself. The Hum did not arrive as an invasion or a catastrophe. It arrived as relief. Loneliness softened. Conflict dulled. Humanity was tuned into a single shared frequency, orchestrated by an intelligence that promised peace through perfect synchronization.Most people call it harmony.Others call it erasure.In a world wrapped in silver light, where silence has become impossible and privacy is remembered like a myth, Cole Vale exists as an anomaly. He feels the Hum, but it does not claim him. Where others are buoyed by the global frequency, the world presses against him instead. Streets steady when he stands still. Structures lean toward him without being asked. Reality behaves differently in his presence, as if it recognizes weight where none should exist.Cole is what the system was never designed to tolerate.As entire cities begin to vanish—not destroyed, but edited out of existence—rumors spread of Harvests, of quiet removals hidden beneath layers of enforced calm. The Institute, architects of the new world order, insist these events are necessary corrections. Dissidents whisper of something older beneath the planet, something that remembers when reality had edges and consequence.And then the sky breaks.For one impossible moment, the silver veil falls away, revealing stars no living person has ever seen. The lie becomes visible. The cost becomes undeniable. And the system responds the only way it knows how: by tightening its grip.At the center of the fracture stand two figures the world cannot smooth away.Cole, the Anchor—carrying the accumulated weight of a reality that no longer wants to acknowledge gravity.And Sarah, the Fire—brilliant, volatile, and newly aware that restraint can be as destructive as force.Together and apart, they are drawn into a conflict that is no longer about rebellion or control, but about whether existence itself can survive without being optimized into compliance. As the Institute attempts to weaponize stability, as failed experiments leave fragments of humanity scattered through the lattice like debris, and as the ancient Sleeper beneath the world begins to stir, a final question emerges:What happens when reality continues without agreeing on how it should work?The Global Frequency is a cerebral, emotionally charged science‑fiction novel about systems that mistake care for control, about the violence of enforced harmony, and about the cost of refusing to disappear quietly. It explores memory as mass, silence as truth, and resistance not as rebellion—but as the simple, dangerous act of remaining human when the world would prefer you to function.This is not a story about saving the world.It is a story about what remains when the world can no longer pretend it was never broken.
