Mathematical and Computational Approaches in Advancing Modern Science and Engineering

Focusing§on five main groups of interdisciplinary problems, this book covers a wide§range of topics in mathematical modeling, computational science and applied§mathematics. It presents a wealth of new results in the development of modeling§theories and methods, advancing diverse areas of applications and promoting§interdisciplinary interactions between mathematicians, scientists, engineers§and representatives from other disciplines.§§The§book offers a valuable source of methods, ideas, and tools developed for a§variety of disciplines, including the natural and social sciences, medicine,§engineering, and technology. Original results are presented on both the§fundamental and applied level, accompanied by an ample number of real-world§problems and examples emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature and universality§of mathematical modeling, and providing an excellent outline of today's§challenges. Mathematical modeling,§with applied and computational methods and tools, plays a fundamental role in§modern science and engineering. It provides a primary and ubiquitous tool in§the context making new discoveries, as well as in the development of new§theories and techniques for solving key problems arising in scientific and§engineering applications.§§The§contributions, which are the product of two highly successful meetings§held jointly in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada on the main campus of Wilfrid Laurier§University in June 2015, i.e. the International Conference on Applied§Mathematics, Modeling and Computational Science, and the Annual Meeting of the§Canadian Applied and Industrial Mathematics (CAIMS), make the book a valuable resource for any reader interested§in a broader overview of the methods, ideas and tools involved in mathematical§and computational approaches developed for other disciplines, including the§natural and social sciences, engineering and technology.§
