ISBN: 9780387975023.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModeling and Simulation have become endeavors central to all disciplines of science and engineering. They are used in the analysis of physical systems where they help us gain a better understanding of the functioning of our physical world. They are also important to the design of new engineering systems where they enable us to predict the behavior of a system before it is ever actually built. Modeling and simulation are the only techniques available that allow us to analyze arbitrarily non-linear systems accurately and under varying experimental conditions. Continuous System Modeling introduces the student to an important subclass of these techniques. They deal with the analysis of systems described through a set of ordinary or partial differential equations or through a set of difference equations. This volume introduces concepts of modeling physical systems through a set of differential and\/or difference equations. The purpose is twofold: it enhances the scientific understanding of our physical world by codifying (organizing) knowledge about this world, and it supports engineering design by allowing us to assess the consequences of a particular design alternative before it is actually built. This text has a flavor of the mathematical discipline of dynamical systems, and is strongly oriented towards Newtonian physical science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44425934995509,"sku":"ByrdShop_0387975020","price":77.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780387975023_93c38c7c-d232-4824-b05a-ce9ac53869f2.jpg?v=1781147482","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/continuous-system-modeling-9780387975023","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
