The book covers contemporary environmental issues related to such subjects such as: drinking water, air pollution, waste water, hazardous waste and groundwater, and it focusses on current research activities, emerging technologies and future trends.
For each major topic area, an overview paper covers the current state of the technology. The individual papers were independently reviewed by scientists and engineers knowledgeable in the field and complemented by summaries that include references to other related work, and additional technical discussion or comments about the subject matter. An introductory chapter in English and French provides an overview of all the papers and summarizes crucial issues presented in the papers and their interrelationship.

Based on the authors' three decades of teaching experience, Advanced Engineering Mathematics presents the fundamentals and theoretical concepts of the subject in an intelligible and easy-to-understand style. The carefully planned chapters make this book an effective tool for teaching the application of mathematics to engineering and scientific problems.

The book provides graded sets of examples and exercises that help students understand the concepts and an Answers and Hints section for difficult problems. The exercises emphasize theoretical concepts and provide the practice students need to gain the confidence to apply them. Advanced Engineering Mathematics offers a logical and lucid presentation of both theory and problem solving techniques that ensures students will not ett lost in unnecessary details.
