Hritonenko (mathematics, Prairie View A&M University) and Yatsenko (College of Business and Economics, Houston Baptist University) show how to construct mathematical models and adjust them to a new engineering environment, how to analyze models for the purpose of investigating real-life phenomena, and how the models can extend the understanding of specific engineering processes, covering applications including electrical and acoustic processes, bioengineering, and production systems. The book is suitable as a reference for mathematicians and engineers and as a text for advanced courses in mathematical modeling. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

The subject of the book is the "know-how" of applied mathematical modelling: how to construct specific models and adjust them to a new engineering environment or more precise realistic assumptions; how to analyze models for the purpose of investigating real life phenomena; and how the models can extend our knowledge about a specific engineering process.Two major sources of the book are the stock of classic models and the authors' wide experience in the field. The book provides a theoretical background to guide the development of practical models and their investigation. It considers general modelling techniques, explains basic underlying physical laws and shows how to transform them into a set of mathematical equations. The emphasis is placed on common features of the modelling process in various applications as well as on complications and generalizations of models.The book covers a variety of applications: mechanical, acoustical, physical and electrical, water transportation and contamination processes; bioengineering and population control; production systems and technical equipment renovation. Mathematical tools include partial and ordinary differential equations, difference and integral equations, the calculus of variations, optimal control, bifurcation methods, and related subjects. Audience: The book may be used as a professional reference for mathematicians, engineers, applied or industrial scientists, and advanced students in mathematics, science or engineering. It provides excellent material for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in mathematical modelling.
