Methods of Mathematical Modelling: Continuous Systems and Differential Equations (Repost)

Thomas Witelski, Mark Bowen, "Methods of Mathematical Modelling: Continuous Systems and Differential Equations"


English | 2015 | ISBN-10: 3319230417 | 305 pages | pdf | 5 MB

This book presents mathematical modelling and the integrated process of formulating sets of equations to describe real-world problems. It describes methods for obtaining solutions of challenging differential equations stemming from problems in areas such as chemical reactions, population dynamics, mechanical systems, and fluid mechanics.




Chapters 1 to 4 cover essential topics in ordinary differential equations, transport equations and the calculus of variations that are important for formulating models. Chapters 5 to 11 then develop more advanced techniques including similarity solutions, matched asymptotic expansions, multiple scale analysis, long-wave models, and fast/slow dynamical systems.




Methods of Mathematical Modelling will be useful for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students in applied mathematics, engineering and other applied sciences.

Computational Systems Toxicology (Repost)

Julia Hoeng, "Computational Systems Toxicology"


English | 2015 | ISBN-10: 1493927779 | 430 pages | pdf | 19 MB

This detailed volume explores key state-of-the-art computational applications that are crucial in Systems Toxicology. The recent technological developments in experimental biology and multi-omics measurements that enable Systems Biology and Systems Toxicology can only be fully leveraged by the application of a broad range of computational approaches ranging from data management to mathematical modeling. Taking this into account, chapters in this book cover data management and processing, data analysis, biological network building and analysis, as well as the application of computational methods to toxicological assessment.




Written for the Methods in Pharmacology and Toxicology series, Computational Systems Toxicology includes the kind of key practical advice that will aid readers in furthering our knowledge of toxic substances and reactions to them.

Improving Reading Comprehension of Middle and High School Students (Literacy Studies) (Repost)

Improving Reading Comprehension of Middle and High School Students (Literacy Studies) By Kristi L. Santi, Deborah K. Reed


2015 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 331914734X | PDF | 3 MB

This volume focuses on our understanding of the reading comprehension of adolescents in a high stakes academic environment. Leading researchers share their most current research on each issue, covering theory and empirical research from a range of specializations, including various content areas, English language learners, students with disabilities, and reading assessment. Topics discussed include: cognitive models of reading comprehension and how they relate to typical or atypical development of reading comprehension, reading in history classes, comprehension of densely worded and symbolic mathematical texts, understanding causality in science texts, the more rigorous comprehension standards in English language arts classes, balancing the practical and measurement constraints of the assessment of reading comprehension, understanding the needs and challenges of English language learners and students in special education with respect to the various content areas discussed in this book. This book is of interest to researchers in literacy and educational psychology as well as curriculum developers.
