Applied Numerical Modelling for Engineers [Paperback]

A good mathematical model of a physical situation leads to improved understanding. A good model must be robust and predictive, anticipating results that can be verified by experiment. This book shows engineers how to construct such models and how to solve them numerically, two enormously important tasks in practical engineering.
