Synopsis

This book outlines the philosophy and techniques needed for the application of mathematics to industrial and scientific problems. Taking a practice-oriented approach, the author includes twenty-one problems, all of which illustrate the power of differential equations in industrial applications. The problems presented touch upon a wide range of situations, including smoke dispersion from a high chimney, the hot rolling of steel, resonance in a gear box, submarine detection, and the shape of laser meltpools. Tayler pays particular attention to the formulation of these problems and has carefully ordered them to illustrate the coherent development of partial differential equations.

About this title

Review

The author shows fruitfulness of the asymptotic approach for modelling of nature phenomena and technical systems ... This book is a reader-friendly textbook in the fields of mathematical modelling. It can be recommended for students as a useful approach to modelling in Applied Mechanics. ( Zentralblatt MATH)

Synopsis

This book is an attempt to demonstrate the power of mathematics and the diversity of its application in the hope of stimulating readers with some background knowledge of applied analysis and mechanics into constructing their own models of new situations.
