Description

Klappentext Mathematical modelling is the basis of almost all applied mathematics. A 'real-world' problem is dissected and phrased in a mathematical setting! allowing it to be simplified and ultimately solved. This book presents a thorough grounding in the techniques of modelling! and proceeds to explore a range of classical and continuum models from an impressive array of disciplines! including: biology! chemical engineering! fluid and solid mechanics! geophysics! medicine! and physics. It assumes only a basic mathematical grounding in calculus and analysis and will provide a wealth of examples for students of mathematics! engineering! and the range of applied sciences. Zusammenfassung Presents a thorough grounding in the techniques of mathematical modelling! and proceeds to explore a range of classical and continuum models from an array of disciplines.
