introduction for scientists and engineers
Mathematical modeling and simulation for scientists and engineers
1 online resource (xiv, 348 pages) : illustrations
This concise and clear introduction to the topic requires only basic knowledge of calculus and linear algebra--all other concepts and ideas are developed in the course of the book. Lucidly written so as to appeal to undergraduates and practitioners alike, it enables readers to set up simple mathematical models on their own and to interpret their results and those of others critically. To achieve this, many examples have been chosen from various fields, such as biology, ecology, economics, medicine, agricultural, chemical, electrical, mechanical and process engineering, which are subsequently di.
