The Method of Perturbations (asymptotic expansions) is an approximations technique for solving complicated problems in mathematics, engineering and physics involving nonlinear equations, variable coefficients and nonlinear boundary conditions. The purpose of this book is to present in a unified way an account of some of these techniques, pointing out their similarities, differences, and advantages, as well as their limitations.
