Mathematical Modelling for Earth Sciences

About this book

"Dr Yang has carefully selected topics which will be of most value to students and has recognised the need to be careful in his examples whilst being comprehensive enough to include important topics and popular algorithms. The book is designed to be 'theorem-free' and yet to balance formality and practicality. Using worked examples and tackling each problem in a step-by-step manner the text is especially suitable for non-mathematicians approaching this aspect of earth sciences for the first time. The coverage and level, for instance in the calculus of variation and pattern formation, that even mathematicians will find the examples interesting." "Mathematical Modelling for Earth Sciences introduces a wide range of mathematical modelling and numerical techniques, and is written for undergraduates and graduate students."--BOOK JACKET.
