Mathematical Modeling of Unsteady Inviscid Flows (Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics #50)
by Jeff D. EldredgeThis book builds inviscid flow analysis from an undergraduate-level treatment of potential flow to the level required for research. The tools covered in this book allow the reader to develop physics-based mathematical models for a variety of flows, including attached and separated flows past wings, fins, and blades of various shapes undergoing arbitrary motions. The book covers all of the ingredients of these models: the solution of potential flows about arbitrary body shapes in two- and three-dimensional contexts, with a particular focus on conformal mapping in the plane; the decomposition of the flow into contributions from ambient vorticity and body motion; generalized edge conditions, of which the Kutta condition is a special case; and the calculation of force and moment, with extensive treatments of added mass and the influence of fluid vorticity. The book also contains an extensive primer with all of the necessary mathematical tools. The concepts are demonstrated on several example problems, both classical and modern.
Mathematical Modeling the Life Sciences: Numerical Recipes in Python and MATLAB® (Textbooks in Mathematics)
by N. G. CoganThe purpose of this unique textbook is to bridge the gap between the need for numerical solutions to modeling techniques through computer simulations to develop skill in employing sensitivity analysis to biological and life sciences applications. The underpinning mathematics is minimalized. The focus is on the consequences, implementation, and application. Historical context motivates the models. An understanding of the earliest models provides insight into more complicated ones. While the text avoids getting mired in the details of numerical analysis, it demonstrates how to use numerical methods and provides core codes that can be readily altered to fit a variety of situations. Numerical scripts in both Python and MATLAB® are included. Python is compiled in Jupyter Notebook to aid classroom use. Additionally, codes are organized and available online. One of the most important skills requiring the use of computer simulations is sensitivity analysis. Sensitivity analysis is increasingly used in biomathematics. There are numerous pitfalls to using sensitivity analysis and therefore a need for exposure to worked examples in order to successfully transfer their use from mathematicians to biologists. The interconnections between mathematics and the life sciences have an extensive history. This book offers a new approach to using mathematics to model applications using computers, to employ numerical methods, and takes students a step further into the realm of sensitivity analysis. With some guidance and practice, the reader will have a new and incredibly powerful tool to use.
Mathematical Modeling using Fuzzy Logic: Applications to Sustainability
by Abhijit PanditMathematical Modeling using Fuzzy Logic has been a dream project for the author. Fuzzy logic provides a unique method of approximate reasoning in an imperfect world. This text is a bridge to the principles of fuzzy logic through an application-focused approach to selected topics in engineering and management. The many examples point to the richer solutions obtained through fuzzy logic and to the possibilities of much wider applications. There are relatively very few texts available at present in fuzzy logic applications. The style and content of this text is complementary to those already available. New areas of application, like application of fuzzy logic in modeling of sustainability, are presented in a graded approach in which the underlying concepts are first described. The text is broadly divided into two parts: the first treats processes, materials, and system applications related to fuzzy logic, and the second delves into the modeling of sustainability with the help of fuzzy logic. This book offers comprehensive coverage of the most essential topics, including: Treating processes, materials, system applications related to fuzzy logic Highlighting new areas of application of fuzzy logic Identifying possibilities of much wider applications of fuzzy logic Modeling of sustainability with the help of fuzzy logic The level enables a selection of the text to be made for the substance of undergraduate-, graduate-, and postgraduate-level courses. There is also sufficient volume and quality for the basis of a postgraduate course. A more restricted and judicious selection can provide the material for a professional short course and various university-level courses.

Mathematical Modelling Programs in Latin America: A Collaborative Context for Social Construction of Knowledge for Educational Change
by Milton Rosa Daniel Clark Orey Francisco Cordero Pablo CarranzaThis book is about the unique, sophisticated, and rigorous study of mathematics in Latin America developed over centuries of cultural exchange between Europe, North, and South America. More specifically, the book explores the tradition of mathematical modelling, introduced a century ago. This modelling was adapted to assist members of distinct communities to draw information about their own realities through the elaboration of representations, which generate mathematical knowledge that deals with creativity and invention. The book provides empirical evidence that a category of mathematical modelling developed in Latin America assesses the horizontal and reciprocal relations between mathematics (school/non-school contexts) and the real world. These relations provide an epistemological and ontological change, where mathematical knowledge of the others is recognized on a horizontal plane. Further, they oblige mathematics teachers and students to understand as a community of knowledge that builds their own mathematical categories of their environment governed by the reciprocal relationships between academic knowledge and functional knowledge. The dimensions of the relationships make up a frame of reference that guides educational change in mathematics. The book presents an inquiry-based approach of three Latin American modelling programs: ethnomodelling, transversality of knowledge, and reasoned decision-making. Each one, with its respective theoretical and methodological foundations related to ethnomathematics and mathematical modelling, socioepistemology, and the attribution of meaning to learning. Undoubtedly, the three mathematical modelling programs, independently, provide educational gains, each with its levels of specificity and loyal to its philosophical, theoretical, and methodological principles. However, the book places them together, organized by axes, to define a corpus of mathematical knowledge that envisions profound educational change through the development of different approaches of mathematical modelling. The authors of the 18 chapters in this book, who represent the diversity of Latin America, are from eight countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Honduras, and Mexico. They were invited to share their ideas, perspectives, and discuss investigations that represent a rich sample of three Latin American perspectives on mathematical modelling.
Mathematical Modelling Techniques (Dover Books on Computer Science)
by Rutherford Aris"Engaging, elegantly written." -- Applied Mathematical ModellingMathematical modelling is a highly useful methodology designed to enable mathematicians, physicists and other scientists to formulate equations from a given nonmathematical situation. In this elegantly written volume, a distinguished theoretical chemist and engineer sets down helpful rules not only for setting up models but also for solving the mathematical problems they pose and for evaluating models.The author begins with a discussion of the term "model," followed by clearly presented examples of the different types of models (finite, statistical, stochastic, etc.). He then goes on to discuss the formulation of a model and how to manipulate it into its most responsive form. Along the way Dr. Aris develops a delightful list of useful maxims for would-be modellers. In the final chapter he deals not only with the empirical validation of models but also with the comparison of models among themselves, as well as with the extension of a model beyond its original "domain of validity."Filled with numerous examples, this book includes three appendices offering further examples treated in more detail. These concern longitudinal diffusion in a packed bed, the coated tube chromatograph with Taylor diffusion and the stirred tank reactor. Six journal articles, a useful list of references and subject and name indexes complete this indispensable, well-written guide."A most useful, readable-and stimulating-book, to be read both for pleasure and for enlightenment." -- Bulletin of the Institute of Mathematics and Its Applications
Mathematical Modelling and Applications
by Gabriele Kaiser Werner Blum Gloria Ann StillmanThis volume documents on-going research and theorising in the sub-field of mathematics education devoted to the teaching and learning of mathematical modelling and applications. Mathematical modelling provides a way of conceiving and resolving problems in the life world of people whether these range from the everyday individual numeracy level to sophisticated new problems for society at large. Mathematical modelling and real world applications are considered as having potential for multi-disciplinary work that involves knowledge from a variety of communities of practice such as those in different workplaces (e. g. , those of educators, designers, construction engineers, museum curators) and in different fields of academic endeavour (e. g. , history, archaeology, mathematics, economics). From an educational perspective, researching the development of competency in real world modelling involves research situated in crossing the boundaries between being a student engaged in modelling or mathematical application to real word tasks in the classroom, being a teacher of mathematical modelling (in or outside the classroom or bridging both), and being a modeller of the world outside the classroom. This is the focus of many of the authors of the chapters in this book. All authors of this volume are members of the International Community of Teachers of Mathematical Modelling (ICTMA), the peak research body into researching the teaching and learning of mathematical modelling at all levels of education from the early years to tertiary education as well as in the workplace.

Mathematical Modelling by Help of Category Theory: Abstract Perspectives on Models and Coupling of Models (Mathematical Engineering)
by Dmitrii LegatiukThis monograph offers a novel structural perspective on the modelling of engineering problems, utilizing abstract mathematics in the form of category theory. Specifically, the book aims to enhance the understanding of mathematical modelling by developing a category theory-based framework. Category theory is employed to establish clear relationships between mathematical models and their complexities. The theory is then extended to encompass coupled mathematical models, incorporating more advanced categorical structures. To bridge theory and practice, the book presents engineering applications of the abstract categorical framework, providing various modelling examples from real-world engineering scenarios. Additionally, it introduces initial concepts for automatic model generation and error detection in modelling. The theory developed here demonstrates the practical utility of category theory, making this book a valuable resource for researchers in applied mathematics and engineering, particularly those focused on theoretical foundations of modelling.
