Product Description
Mathematical Modelling sets out the general principles of mathematical modelling as a means comprehending the world. Within the book the problems of physics engineering chemistry biology medicine economics ecology sociology psychology political science etc. are all considered through this uniform lens. The author describes different classes of models including lumped and distributed parameter systems deterministic and stochastic models continuous and discrete models static and dynamical systems and more. From a mathematical point of view the considered models can be understood as equations and systems of equations of different nature and variational principles. In addition to this mathematical features of mathematical models applied control and optimization problems based on mathematical models and identification of mathematical models are also presented. Features Each chapter includes four levels: a lecture (main chapter material) an appendix (additional information) notes (explanations technical calculations literature review) and tasks for independent work; this is suitable for undergraduates and graduate students and does not require the reader to take any prerequisite course but may be useful for researchers as well Described mathematical models are grouped both by areas of application and by the types of obtained mathematical problems which contributes to both the breadth of coverage of the material and the depth of its understanding Can be used as the main textbook on a mathematical modelling course and is also recommended for special courses on mathematical models for physics chemistry biology economics etc.

Returns
Your options for returning an item vary depending on what you want to return, why you want to return it, and the seller's return policy. If the item is damaged or doesn't match the listing description, you can return it even if the seller's returns policy says they don't accept returns. If you've changed your mind and no longer want an item, you can still request a return, but the seller doesn't have to accept it. If the buyer changes their mind about a purchase and wants to return an item, they may need to pay return postage costs, depending on the seller's return policy. Sellers can provide a return postage address and additional return postage information for the buyer. Sellers pay for return postage if there's a problem with the item. For example, if the item doesn't match the listing description, is damaged or defective or is counterfeit. By law, customers in the European Union also have the right to cancel the purchase of an item within 14 days beginning from the day you receive, or a third party indicated by you (other than the carrier) receives, the last good ordered by you (if delivered separately). This applies to all products except for digital items (e.g. Digital Music) that are provided immediately to you with your acknowledgement, and other items such as video, DVD, audio, video games, Sex and Sensuality products and software products where the item has been unsealed.
Refunds
Sellers have to offer a refund for certain items only if they are faulty, such as: Personalised items and custom-made items, Perishable items, Newspapers and magazines, Unwrapped CDs DVDs and computer software. If you used your PayPal balance or bank account to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your PayPal account balance. If you used a credit or debit card to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your card. The seller will effect the refund within three working days but it may take up to 30 days for Paypal to process the transfer. For payments funded partially by a card and partially by your balance/bank, the money taken from your card will go back to your card and the remainder will return to your PayPal balance.
