Thoroughly revised and updated, The Art of Modeling in Science and
Engineering with Mathematica (R), Second Edition explores the
mathematical tools and procedures used in modeling based on the
laws of conservation of mass, energy, momentum, and electrical
charge. The authors have culled and consolidated the best from the
first edition and expanded the range of applied examples to reach a
wider audience. The text proceeds, in measured steps, from simple
models of real-world problems at the algebraic and ordinary
differential equations (ODE) levels to more sophisticated models
requiring partial differential equations. The traditional solution
methods are supplemented with Mathematica , which is used
throughout the text to arrive at solutions for many of the problems
presented. The text is enlivened with a host of illustrations and
practice problems drawn from classical and contemporary sources.
They range from Thomson's famous experiment to determine e/m and
Euler's model for the buckling of a strut to an analysis of the
propagation of emissions and the performance of wind turbines. The
mathematical tools required are first explained in separate
chapters and then carried along throughout the text to solve and
analyze the models. Commentaries at the end of each illustration
draw attention to the pitfalls to be avoided and, perhaps most
important, alert the reader to unexpected results that defy
conventional wisdom. These features and more make the book the
perfect tool for resolving three common difficulties: the proper
choice of model, the absence of precise solutions, and the need to
make suitable simplifying assumptions and approximations. The book
covers a wide range of physical processes and phenomena drawn from
various disciplines and clearly illuminates the link between the
physical system being modeled and the mathematical expression that
results.
