Acoustic and Electromagnetic Waves
(From a mathematical point of view, acoustics and electrom...)
From a mathematical point of view, acoustics and electromagnetism exhibit similar phenomena and are tackled with the same kind of technique. Jones's exhaustive study is unique in providing a unified treatment of the two fields, bringing out their common and disparate features and showing how they cross-fertilize one another. The book is designed so that the reader with an familiarity with either Maxwell's Equations or the equation of sound waves in fluid dynamics can follow the developments in both fields without difficulty. This is a comprehensive treatment which will provide a needed reference for researchers in applied mathematics and mathematical physics but also caters to the student, who is taken up to the frontiers of research with the help of appropriate exercises. Engineers with any sort of mathematical competence, particularly electrical engineers and those concerned with communications technology, will have to have access to it.

Assembly Programming and the 8086 Microprocessor
(The Intel 8086 is among the most popular microprocessors,...)
The Intel 8086 is among the most popular microprocessors, appearing in several versions of the IBM personal computer as well as in numerous PC-compatibles or "clones," and the IBM PS/2 Model 30. In order to facilitate its speed and power, however, it is necessary to program the computer in 8086 assembly language. Written for PC users who are competent in a high-level language (such as BASIC or PASCAL), but who need more flexibility and speed of execution than such languages provide, this book explains the fundamentals of assembly programming and describes the essential details of the 8086 chip. The book progresses by means of illustrative programs and subroutines to advanced topics such as floating-point arithmetic and operating system calls. Exercises in writing programs are included that offer the practice necessary to successfully program original applications. This is a unique sourcebook for the large and ever-growing personal computer market.

The Theory of Generalised Functions
(Starting from an elementary level Professor Jones discuss...)
Starting from an elementary level Professor Jones discusses generalised functions and their applications. He aims to supply the simplest introduction for those who wish to learn to use generalised functions and there is liberal provision of exercises with which to gain experience. The study of more advanced topics such as partial differential equations, Laplace transforms and ultra-distributions should also make it a valuable source for researchers. The demands placed upon the reader's analytical background are the minimum required to approach this topic. Therefore, by selecting chapters it is possible to construct a short introductory course for students, a final-year option for honours undergraduates or a comprehensive postgraduate course.

Methods in Electromagnetic Wave Propagation (Oxford Engineering Science Series)
(Co-published with Oxford University Press. This new editi...)
Co-published with Oxford University Press. This new edition takes account of the most recent analytical progress that has been made in the field of electromagnetic wave propagation and the impact of the wider availability of powerful computers. The aim of this book is to develop a suitable framework of theory and numerical analysis with applications to various aspects of the propagation of electromagnetic waves. The conjugate gradient method and CGFFT are given extensive treatment. The coverage of finite methods has been expanded and conforming finite elements particularly appropriate to electromagnetic applications are described. New topics have been added to this edition including Sobolev spaces, vector optimization, absorbing boundary conditions, and surface radiation conditions.

Introduction to Asymptotics: A Treatment using Nonstandard Analysis
(Many branches of science and engineering involve applicat...)
Many branches of science and engineering involve applications of mathematical analysis. An important part of applied analysis is asymptotic approximation which is, therefore, an active area of research with new methods and publications being found constantly. This book gives an introduction to the subject sufficient for scientists and engineers to grasp the fundamental techniques, both those which have been known for some time and those which have been discovered more recently. The asymptotic approximation of both integrals and differential equations is discussed and the discussion includes hyperasymptotics as well as uniform asymptotics. There are many numerical examples to illustrate the relation between theory and practice. Exercises in the chapters enable the book to be used as a text for an introductory course.

The aim of these two volumes is to develop a framework of theory and numerical analysis that can be applied to solving numerous problems associated with the propagation of electromagnetic waves. Volume I is devoted to the theoretical background and the topic of guided waves. It includes numerical techniques, with particular emphasis on variational methods, integral equations, and finite elements. Volume II concentrates on radiating waves, produced both by transmitters and by scattering from irradiated targets. The geometric theory of diffraction receives an extensive review and the final chapter investigates inverse scattering.

Bachelor, Oxford (England) University, 1947; Doctor of Science, Manchester (England) University, 1957; Doctor of Science, Strathclyde U., Glasgow, Scotland, 1975.
Career
He was known for his work in the field of electromagnetism. In 1940, Jones began studying at Corpus Christi College, Oxford University. In his spare time, Jones was known to enjoy golf, walking and photography.
After joining the Royal Air Force in 1942, he led a research team looking at equipment for night fighter operations.
Awarded Administration Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1945 for his work with the Royal Air Force. Jones graduated Master of Arts from Oxford in 1947, and then worked as a lecturer at Manchester University. In 1957 he was appointed chair of Mathematics at the University of Keele.
During his time at Keele, Jones wrote the book The Theory of Electromagnetism which established him as a leader in this field In 1965, Jones was appointed the Ivory Chair of Applied Mathematics at Queen"s College in the University of Street Andrews.
Jones retired in 1992, gaining the title Emeritus Professor.
