Description
Designed to provide a firm grounding in mathematical methods for chemical engineering practitioners in academic institutions and industry, this volume builds on the reader's previous knowledge of calculus, differential equations and linear algebra. Varma and Morbidelli offer an integrated treatment of linear operator theory from determinants through partial differential equations, and feature extensive chapters on both ordinary differential equations and perturbation methods. Numerous high-quality diagrams and examples from chemical engineering illustrate the textual material and enhance the reader's understanding of complex mathematical systems.
Reviews / Votes
The scientists, investigators and students have been in need of a textbook which provides a mathematical background at an advanced level. The present book is an attainment in this direction... the book is essential and useful for scientists, chemical engineers, and especially graduate level students in chemistry. The expert selection and masterly explanation of the material admit using this book as a reference guide, too. The construction of chemical examples and applications impress with lucidity and completeness. * Zeitschrift fur Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete *More details
