A good mathematical model of a physical situation leads to improved understanding. A good model must be robust and predictive, anticipating results that can be verified by experiment. This book shows engineers how to construct such models and how to solve them numerically, two enormously important tasks in practical engineering.
This text investigates the methodology required to construct robust, predictive mathematical models for complex physical engineering scenarios. The authors, Anne and Donard de Cogan, leverage their academic background to provide a structured approach to numerical problem-solving. By bridging the gap between theoretical physics and practical application, the book establishes a framework for engineers to simulate real-world systems effectively. It emphasizes the necessity of verification through experimental data to ensure model reliability.
