Nob Hill Publishing is pleased to announce the availability of Modeling and Analysis Principles for Chemical and Biological Engineers, by Michael D. Graham (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and James B. Rawlings (University of California, Santa Barbara).
This book came about as the authors struggled to incorporate modern topics into a one- or two-semester course sequence for new graduate students, without losing the essential aspects of traditional mathematical modeling syllabi. Topics that are particularly important but absent from traditional texts include: matrix factorizations such as the singular value decomposition, basic qualitative dynamics of nonlinear differential equations, integral representations of partial differential equations, probability and stochastic processes, and state estimation.
Contents: 1. Linear Algebra; 2. Ordinary Differential Equations; 3. Vector Calculus and Partial Differential Equations; 4. Probability, Random Variables, and Estimation; 5. Stochastic Models and Processes; A. Mathematical Tables.
- 99 worked examples, more than 300 end-of-chapter exercises, and 94 figures.
- Octave (freely available) supported for all calculations in the text.
- Solution manual available to course instructors who adopt the text; contact orders@nobhillpublishing.com
- Current errata available on the web.
- Sample homeworks and exams available at the course website.
