Matrix Methods and Differential Equations
This book is aimed at students who encounter mathematical models in other disciplines. It assumes some knowledge of calculus, and explains the tools and concepts for analysing models involving sets of either algebraic or 1st order differential equations. The text emphasises commonalities between these modelling approaches.
The approach is practical, aiming at insight to understand the mathematical principles, but recognising that real world modelling uses computer algebra software. Hands on exploration is supported by giving software commands interspersed in the text, as well as their output.

Hydrodynamic Modelling and Granular Dynamics
By: Peter Dybdahl Hede
In the field of particle technology hydrodynamic modelling in the form of CFD or DEM is an area with increasing focus in terms of modelling approach to granulation processes. Although being used at many universities and in industry it is a difficult topic with only few textbooks available. This text provides a beginners guide to hydrodynamic modelling with focus on agglomeration processes. The bas...
Portfolio Theory & Financial Analyses: Exercises
By: Robert Alan Hill
This Exercise book and theory text evaluate Modern Portfolio Theory (Markowitz, CAPM and APT) for future study. From the original purpose of MPT through to asset investment by management, we learn why anybody today with the software and a reasonable financial education can model portfolios. However, one lesson from the 2007 meltdown is that computer driven models are so complex that hardly anybod...
