Mathematical modeling is the art and craft of building a system of
equations that is both sufficiently complex to do justice to
physical reality and sufficiently simple to give real insight into
the situation. Mathematical Modeling: A Chemical Engineer's
Perspective provides an elementary introduction to the craft by one
of the century's most distinguished practitioners.
Though the book is written from a chemical engineering viewpoint,
the principles and pitfalls are common to all mathematical modeling
of physical systems. Seventeen of the author's frequently cited
papers are reprinted to illustrate applications to convective
diffusion, formal chemical kinetics, heat and mass transfer, and
the philosophy of modeling. An essay of acknowledgments, asides,
and footnotes captures personal reflections on academic life and
personalities.
* Describes pitfalls as well as principles of mathematical
modeling
* Presents twenty examples of engineering problems
* Features seventeen reprinted papers
* Presents personal reflections on some of the great natural
philosophers
* Emphasizes modeling procedures that precede extensive
calculations
