Download or read book Mathematical Modelling Techniques written by Rutherford Aris and published by Pitman Publishing. This book was released on 1978 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mathematical modelling techniques explains the process by which to arrive at useful mathematical representations, thus showing the reader how to formulate the necessary equations from a given non-mathematical situation. The heart of the book gives ways in which the equations can be made dimensionless and reduced to their least number and simplest form. Numerous examples are given in the text, and three particular situations are discussed in detail in the appendices. The emphasis throughout is on the craft of mathematical modelling, rather than on solutions of the mathematical equations themselves. In this way the author makes explicit the skills which an experienced mathematical modeller develops and uses almost unconsciously, so the volume should be of particular value to the beginner and of interest to the practitioner." --Cover.
