Mathematical Models in Applied Mechanics is perfectly designed for final year undergraduate and graduate students. This textbook utilizes the power of mathematics in solving practical, scientific and technical problems through mathematical modeling techniques. Taken from real-life situations, the text includes twenty-one ordered problems, which gives students the ability to develop the skills necessary to create new situational models.
Best applied math book I've read in a long time. A bit scattered in places, but I was literally blown away by Chapter 4! In 60 short pages, Tayler covers basically everything I'm currently working on: heat conduction, atmospheric pollutant dispersion, Stefan problems, mushy layers, nonlinear diffusion, Barenblatt's solution, and Darcy's law. It's a wild ride, but he really pulls it off.
