Synopsis

This is a broad ranging introductory text on applied numerical modelling and simulation. It covers many techniques and develops the relevant mathematics in parallel. The material is presented in the context of realistic practical examples. Many of the end-of-chapter exercises may be treated as open-ended projects which can be easily extended. The presentation makes the text easy to assimilate with a progression of concepts chapter by chpater. The more difficult material is assembled towards the end of the book. Each chapter has a list of references to accessible texts as well as journal publications which should provide pointers for research projects. The provision of software code in a range of languages should help the user to make rapid use of the material. This textbook will broaden the understanding of engineers and others using models leading to better and more productive modelling. This book is intended for some 2nd year, but mostly 3rd year undergraduates, and graduate students in engineering (particularly electrical, electronic, control) and applied sciences (physics, biology, environmental) wanting an understandable account of numerical modelling. Specifically "advanced mathematics for engineers" courses.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A good mathematical model of a physical situation leads to improved understanding. A good model must be robust (its underlying assumptions must not lead to inconsistent results) and it must be predictive anticipating results that can be verified by experiment. This book shows engineers how to construct or choose such models and how to solve them numerically. These are enormously important tasks in practical engineering.

Revue de presse

This is a useful guide to the design and use of numerical models which can be converted into reliable simulation algorithms. It is aimed mainly at electrical and electronic engineering students but will also be useful to students of other engineering disciplines and physics. (Aslib Book Guide vol. 63 no. 2 February 1998)
