Beskrivning

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.

Recensioner i media

'The presented case studies are almost self-contained and span an incredible breadth of applied science and engineering … a must for university libraries … I would … recommend the book to anyone who is excited by the power of mathematics in describing the word. It might even become a classic of the genre.' John McCloskey, The Times Higher Education Supplement
