Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Focusing on the application of mathematics to chemical engineering, Applied Mathematical Methods for Chemical Engineers addresses the setup and verification of mathematical models using experimental or other independently derived data. The book provides an introduction to differential equations common to chemical engineering, followed by examples of first-order and linear second-order ordinary differential equations. Later chapters examine Sturm-Liouville problems, Fourier series, integrals, linear partial differential equations, regular perturbation, combination of variables, and numerical methods emphasizing the method of lines with MATLAB® programming examples.
Fully revised and updated, this Third Edition :
Includes additional examples related to process control, Bessel Functions, and contemporary areas such as drug delivery Introduces examples of variable coefficient Sturm-Liouville problems both in the regular and singular types Demonstrates the use of Euler and modified Euler methods alongside the Runge-Kutta order-four method Inserts more depth on specific applications such as nonhomogeneous cases of separation of variables Adds a section on special types of matrices such as upper- and lower-triangular matrices Presents a justification for Fourier-Bessel series in preference to a complicated proof Incorporates examples related to biomedical engineering applications Illustrates the use of the predictor-corrector method Expands the problem sets of numerous chaptersApplied Mathematical Methods for Chemical Engineers, Third Edition uses worked examples to expose several mathematical methods that are essential to solving real-world process engineering problems.

CHOICE Review
Loney (New Jersey Institute of Technology) directs his book specifically toward upper-division undergraduate and beginning graduate engineering students, with examples illustrating some basic chemical engineering principles. Chapters 1-6 cover techniques for the solution of first- and second-order ordinary differential equations, Sturm-Liouville problems, Fourier series, and partial differential equations. Chapter 7 illustrates applications to some problems in chemical engineering, mostly involving the diffusion equation for heat or mass. Chapter 8 summarizes dimensional analysis and scaling of boundary value problems, and chapter 9 presents an overview of the use of various software packages for numerical solution of algebraic and differential equations. Numerous examples are included in each chapter, as well as a list of selected references and some exercises for the student. The first three chapters treating ordinary differential equations are particularly useful, interesting, and well done. Remaining chapters are largely repetitions of material from classical references. Since the book's focus is on analytical methods, the material on numerical methods is quite concise and condensed. A useful text or resource for upper-division undergraduate and graduate engineering mathematics students. R. Darby; Texas A&M UniversityAuthor notes provided by Syndetics
