Description
A good mathematical model of a physical situation leads to improved understanding. A good model must be robust (its underlying assumptions must not lead to inconsistent results) and it must be predictive anticipating results that can be verified by experiment. This book shows engineers how to construct or choose such models and how to solve them numerically. These are enormously important tasks in practical engineering.
Reviews / Votes
This is a useful guide to the design and use of numerical models which can be converted into reliable simulation algorithms. It is aimed mainly at electrical and electronic engineering students but will also be useful to students of other engineering disciplines and physics. * Aslib Book Guide vol. 63 no. 2 February 1998 *More details
