Mathematics Applied to Deterministic Problems in the Natural Sciences

C. C. Lin, L. A. Segel9780898712292, 0898712297

Addresses the construction, analysis, and interpretation of mathematical models that shed light on significant problems in the physical sciences.
The authors’ case studies approach leads to excitement in teaching realistic problems. The exercises reinforce, test and extend the reader’s understanding. This reprint volume may be used as an upper level undergraduate or graduate textbook as well as a reference for researchers working on fluid mechanics, elasticity, perturbation methods, dimensional analysis, numerical analysis, continuum mechanics and differential equations.
