      Mathematically Modeling Natural Systems

      Systems and their mathematical description play an important role in all branches of science. This book offers an introduction to mathematical modeling techniques. It is intended for undergrad students in applied natural science, in particular earth and environmental science, environmental engineering, as well as ecology, environmental chemistry, chemical engineering, agronomy, and forestry. The focus is on developing the basic methods of modeling. Students will learn how to build mathematical models of their own, but also how to analyze the properties of existing models. The book neither derives mathematical formulae, nor does it describe modeling software, instead focusing on the fundamental concepts behind mathematical models. A formulary in the appendix summarizes the necessary mathematical knowledge. To support independent learners, numerous examples and problems from various scientific disciplines are provided throughout the book. Thanks in no small part to the cartoons by Nikolas Stürchler, this introduction to the colorful world of modeling is both entertaining and rich in content

      As the perfect complement to the highly acclaimed Environmental Organic Chemistry, this companion volume enriches the textbook with illustrative examples, applications, practical problems, and case studies. Expanded to include treatment of groundwater systems, rivers, and porous media, this work may also serve as a valuable stand-alone text/reference. Keyed to related topics in Environmental Organic Chemistry, the support material provided in this book includes: * Challenging problem sets * Illustrative calculations that clarify the theoretical discussions in the text * Case studies dealing with the integrative modeling of organic compounds in various aquatic systems * Coverage of the basic concepts of modeling * A review of current literature * Meticulous cross-referencing to the equations, tables, and figures of Environmental Organic Chemistry Environmental Organic Chemistry: Illustrative Examples, Problems, and Case Studies brings together theory and practice, while developing problem-solving skills and the critical use of sophisticated models-a valuable supplement to an outstanding text.

      Einführung in die mathematische Modellierung natürlicher Systeme

      • 255 pages

      Dieses neuartige Lehrbuch ist für das Grundstudium eines naturwissenschaftlichen Faches besonders geeignet. Im Vordergrund steht die Vermittlung eines echten Systemverständnisses, bzw. die Beantwortung der Frage, welche Annahmen und Vereinfachungen getroffen werden müssen, um ein reales natürliches System (z. B. Wald, See, Ozean, Klimasystem) modellieren zu können. An ausgewählten Beispielen wird dem Leser das mathematische Handwerkszeug vermittelt, um selbstständig ein Modell zu entwickeln oder ein bestehendes Modell zu verstehen und zu hinterfragen. Dabei werden auch die Grenzen der Modellierung aufgezeigt. Auf die trockene Herleitung von mathematischen Formeln im Text wurde meist verzichtet. Eine Formelsammlung im Anhang dient dafür als Ergänzung. Beispiele und Aufgaben aus verschiedenen Gebieten der Naturwissenschaften zeigen die Anwendung der Theorie und erlauben eine selbständige Einarbeitung. Abbildungen und Cartoons runden das Ganze zu einem unterhaltsamen, aber gehaltvollen Lehrbuch ab.
