Synopsis

This manual is meant to provide supplementary material and solutions to the exercises used in Charles Hadlock's textbook, Mathematical Modeling in the Environment. The manual is invaluable to users of the textbook as it contains complete solutions and often further discussion of essentially every exercise the author presents in his book. This includes both the mathematical/computational exercises as well as the research questions and investigations. Since the exercises in the textbook are very rich in content, (rather than simple mechanical problems), and cover a wide range, most readers will not have the time to work out every one on their own. Readers can thus still benefit greatly from perusing solutions to problems they have at least thought about briefly. Students using this manual still need to work out solutions to research questions using their own sources and adapting them to their own geographic locations, or to numerical problems using their own computational schemes, so this manual will be a useful guide to students in many course contexts. Enrichment material is included on the topics of some of the exercises. Advise for teachers who lack previous environmental experience, but who want to teach this material is also provided and makes it practical for such persons to offer a course based on these volumes. This book is the essential companion to Mathematical Modeling in the Environment.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book has a dual objective: first to introduce the reader to some of the most important and widespread environmental issues of the day; and second to illustrate the vital role played by mathematical models in investigating these issues. The subjects covered are ground water contamination, air pollution, and hazardous materials emergencies. These issues are presented in their full real-world context and are used to develop important classical mathematical themes. The emphasis throughout is on fundamental principles and concepts, not on achieving technical mastery of state-of-the-art models.
