An essential introduction to engineering system modeling and
simulation from a well-trusted source in engineering and education
This new introductory-level textbook provides thirteen
self-contained chapters, each covering an important topic in
engineering systems modeling and simulation. The importance of such
a topic cannot be overstated; modeling and simulation will only
increase in importance in the future as computational resources
improve and become more powerful and accessible, and as systems
become more complex. This resource is a wonderful mix of practical
examples, theoretical concepts, and experimental sessions that
ensure a well-rounded education on the topic. The topics covered in
Engineering Modeling and Simulation are timeless fundamentals that
provide the necessary background for further and more advanced
study of one or more of the topics. The text includes topics such
as linear and nonlinear dynamical systems, continuous-time and
discrete-time systems, stability theory, numerical methods for
solution of ODEs, PDE models, feedback systems, optimization,
regression and more. Each chapter provides an introduction to the
topic to familiarize students with the core ideas before delving
deeper. The numerous tools and examples help ensure students engage
in active learning, acquiring a range of tools for analyzing
systems and gaining experience in numerical computation and
simulation systems, from an author prized for both his writing and
his teaching over the course of his over-40-year career.
Engineering Modeling and Simulation readers will also find:
Numerous examples, tools, and programming tips to help clarify
points made throughout the textbook, with end-of-chapter problems
to further emphasize the material As systems become more complex, a
chapter devoted to complex networks including small-world and
scale-free networks - a unique advancement for textbooks within
modeling and simulation A complimentary website that hosts a
complete set of lecture slides, a solution manual for
end-of-chapter problems, MATLAB files, and case-study exercises
Engineering Modeling and Simulation is aimed at undergraduate and
first-year graduate engineering students studying systems, in
diverse avenues within the field: electrical, mechanical,
mathematics, aerospace, bioengineering, physics, and civil and
environmental engineering. It may also be of interest to those in
mathematical modeling courses, as it provides in-depth material on
MATLAB simulation and contains appendices with brief reviews of
linear algebra, real analysis, and probability theory.
