Review

"...a highly personalized account of one man's adventures in the mathematical description of continuum models in chemical engineering. The author draws on his vast experience as an applied mathematician/chemical engineer to provide the reader with many insights (and warnings) about the joys (and pitfalls) of mathematical modeling. A most valuable piece of scholarship!"
--MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS, Issue 2000i
"...an intriguing book, very different from the run-of the mill kind of book on mathematical modeling. . . . The author draws on his vast experience as an applied mathematician/chemical engineer to provide the reader with many insights (and warnings) about the joys (and pitfalls) of mathematical modeling. The philosohy and methodology of the field is presented... intertwined as it is with many specific problems arising in the industry. A most valuable piece of scholarship!"
--John Adams, MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS, Issue 2000i:00020

From the Back Cover

Mathematical modeling is the art and craft of building a system of equations which is both sufficiently complex to do justice to physical reality and sufficiently simple to give real insight into the situation. This book provides an elementary introduction to the craft by one of the profession's most distinguished practitioners. Though written from a chemical engineering viewpoint,the text presents principles and pitfalls common to all mathematical modeling of physical systems. Seventeen of the author's frequently cited papers are reprinted to illustrate applications to convective diffusion, formal chemical kinetics, heat and mass transfer, and the philosophy of modeling. An essay of acknowledgements, asides, and footnotes captures personal reflections on academic life and personalities.

Key Features

· Describes pitfalls as well as principles of mathematical modeling
· Reprints 17 seminal papers of the author
· Emphasizes modeling procedures that precede extensive calculations
· Presents 20 examples of engineering problems
· Includes personal vignettes on academic life and personalities
