This book presents mathematical modelling and the integrated process of formulating sets of equations to describe real-world problems. It describes methods for obtaining solutions of challenging differential equations stemming from problems in areas such as chemical reactions, population dynamics, mechanical systems, and fluid mechanics. Chapters 1 to 4 cover essential topics in ordinary differential equations, transport equations and the calculus of variations that are important for formulating models. Chapters 5 to 11 then develop more advanced techniques including similarity solutions, matched asymptotic expansions, multiple scale analysis, long-wave models, and fast/slow dynamical systems. Methods of ... Read more

Reviews for Methods of Mathematical Modelling: Continuous Systems and Differential Equations
The text is well written. The authors have provided a clear and concise presentation of many important topics in a way that should be accessible to students following a first course in differential equations. ... More advanced students could easily learn a significant amount of useful mathematics reading the text independently. ... Methods of Mathematical Modelling is a welcome addition ... Read more
