Advanced mathematics used in engineering is studied here in this text which examines the relationship between the principles in natural processes and those employed in engineered processes. The text covers principles, practices and the mathematics involved in the design and operation of environmental engineering works. It also presents engineering
A thorough revision of the previous "Environmental Engineer's Mathematics Handbook," this book offers readers an unusual approach to presenting environmental math concepts, emphasizing the relationship between the principles in natural processes and environmental processes. It integrates the fundamental math operations performed by environmental pr
Dieses nützliche Handbuch umfaßt über 200 Formeln, die von Umweltingenieuren für Problemlösungen im Bereich biologischer und biochemischer Prozesse in natürlichen und künstlich angelegten Systemen eingesetzt werden. Jeder Problemeintrag erhält eine Definition, eine Formel, Zahlenwerte, die in der Literatur genannt werden, Verweise und entsprechende Tabellen und Diagramme. Umrechnungstabellen finden sich im Anhang. (10/97)
Convenient access to information from every area of mathematics: Fourier transforms, Z transforms, linear and nonlinear programming, calculus of variations, random-process theory, special functions, combinatorial analysis, game theory, much more.
In this complete handbook for international engineering service projects, James Mihelcic and his coauthors provide the tools necessary to implement the right technology in developing regions around the world.
The authors' aim is to offer the reader the fundamentals of numerous mathematical methods with accompanying practical environmental applications. The material in this book addresses mathematical calculations common to both the environmental science and engineering professionals. It provides the reader with nearly 100 solved illustrative examples and the interrelationship between both theory and applications is emphasized in nearly all of the 35 chapters. One key feature of this book is that the solutions to the problems are presented in a stand-alone manner. Throughout the book, the illustrative examples are laid out in such a way as to develop the reader's technical understanding of the subject in question, with more difficult examples located at or near the end of each set. In presenting the text material, the authors have stressed the pragmatic approach in the application of mathematical tools to assist the reader in grasping the role of mathematical skills in environmental problem-solving situations. The book is divided up into 5 parts: Introduction; Analytical Analysis; Numerical Analysis; Statistical Analysis; and Optimization. The analytical analysis includes graphical, trial-and-error, search, etc. methods. The numerical analysis includes integration, differentiation, differential equation, Monte Carlo, etc. The statistical analysis includes probability, probability distribution, decision trees, regression analysis, etc. Optimization includes both traditional approaches and linear programming.
Designed to provide engineers with quick-access mathematical formulas for their specialties, the new Fourth Edition includes 20% more information than the prior edition while retaining the Handbook's unique presentation of math fundamentals. The Handbook proceeds from algebra and geometry through such advanced topics as Laplace transforms and numerical methods and concludes with basic discussions of plane curves and space curves. It is organized logically to present each math topic as a complete conceptual and visual unit. The Handbook includes abundant examples of problems in advanced math whose solutions are depicted in step-by-step detail, as well as a new glossary of math terms.
Now revised and updated, the second edition of this book includes new topics including a look at pollution prevention, drinking water standards, volatile organic compounds, indoor air quality and emissions monitoring.
With the help of this easy-to-use refresher guide, environmental engineers and scientists can brush up on mathematical methods for solving a wide range of environmental problems. The book presents many examples specifically related to environmental problems--and includes tips and short cuts for getting numerical answers to quantitative problems. 75 illustrations.
