25 Problems for STEM Education introduces a new and emerging course for undergraduate STEM programs called Physical-Mathematical Informatics. This course corresponds with the new direction in education called STE(A)M (Science, Technology, Engineering, [Art] and Mathematics). The book focuses on undergraduate university students (and high school students), as well as the teachers of mathematics, physics, chemistry and other disciplines such as the humanities. This book is suitable for readers who have a basic understanding of mathematics and math software. Features Contains 32 interesting problems (studies) and new and unique methods of solving these physical and mathematical problems using a computer as well as new methods of teaching mathematics and physics Suitable for students in advanced high school courses and undergraduates, as well as for students studying Mathematical Education at the Master’s or PhD level One of the only books that attempts to bring together ST(E)AM techniques, computational mathematics and informatics in a single, unified format

STEM Problems with Mathcad and Python seeks to remove the fear of tackling difficult scientific and technical calculations for future mathematicians, engineers, scientists, and other STEM researchers. The authors hope to show that such calculations can be not only useful, but that the process of learning how to do them can be enjoyable, especially with the help of Mathcad and Python programming skills. The book will also illustrate how the use of modern computer software allows one to significantly expand the range of problems considered beyond those conventionally taught. This includes computational experiments, multivariate calculations, inverse problems and optimization problems, with both static and animated visual feedback.FeaturesSuitable for undergraduates and early postgraduates who need simple and accessible guidance for solving practical interdisciplinary technical problemsCan be used as an additional textbook in a variety of topics, including Calculus, Linear Algebra, Analytical Geometry, Discrete Mathematics, Computer Science, Computational Mathematics, Scientific Visualization, Computer GraphicsGives computer users access to an exciting new hobby - solving complex problems described in fiction

Differential equations are often used in mathematical models for technological processes or devices. However, the design of a differential mathematical model is crucial and difficult in engineering.As a hands-on approach to learn how to pose a differential mathematical model the authors have selected 9 examples with important practical application and treat them as following:- Problem-setting and physical model formulation- Designing the differential mathematical model- Integration of the differential equations- Visualization of resultsEach step of the development of a differential model is enriched by respective Mathcad 11 commands, todays necessary linkage of engineering significance and high computing complexity.

To support readers of the book with respect to changes that might occur in future versions of Mathcad (Mathcad 12 for example), updates of examples, codes etc. can be downloaded from the following web page www.thermal.ru. Readers can work with Mathcad-sheets of the book without any Mathcad by help Mathcad Application Server Technology.

The authors explain at length the principles of chemical kinetics and approaches to computerized calculations in modern software suites — mathcad and maple. Mathematics is crucial in determining correlations in chemical processes and requires various numerical approaches. Often significant issues with mathematical formalizations of chemical problems arise and many kinetic problems can´t be solved without computers. Numerous problems encountered in solving kinetics´ calculations with detailed descriptions of the numerical tools are given. Special attention is given to electrochemical reactions, which fills a gap in existing texts not covering this topic in detail. The material demonstrates how these suites provide quick and precise behavior predictions for a system over time (for postulated mechanisms).Examples, i.e., oscillating and non-isothermal reactions, help explain the use of mathcad more efficiently. Also included are the results of authors’ own research toward effective computations.
