Modeling and Simulation have become endeavors central to all
disciplines of science and engineering. They are used in the
analysis of physical systems where they help us gain a better
understanding of the functioning of our physical world. They are
also important to the design of new engineering systems where they
enable us to predict the behavior of a system before it is ever
actually built. Modeling and simulation are the only techniques
available that allow us to analyze arbitrarily non-linear systems
accurately and under varying experimental conditions. Continuous
System Modeling introduces the student to an important subclass of
these techniques. They deal with the analysis of systems described
through a set of ordinary or partial differential equations or
through a set of difference equations. This volume introduces
concepts of modeling physical systems through a set of differential
and/or difference equations. The purpose is twofold: it enhances
the scientific understanding of our physical world by codifying
(organizing) knowledge about this world, and it supports
engineering design by allowing us to assess the consequences of a
particular design alternative before it is actually built. This
text has a flavor of the mathematical discipline of dynamical
systems, and is strongly oriented towards Newtonian physical
science.
