Linear Mathematical Models in Chemical Engineering

Mathematics remains a core area of engineering. Formulating and analyzing mathematical models of basic engineering systems is an essential skill that all engineering students should endeavor to acquire.

This book will serve as an excellent introduction to linear mathematics for engineering students, both seniors and graduate students. It is the result of a collaboration between a chemical engineer and a mathematician, both of whom have taught classes on modelling and applied mathematics. It provides a broad collection of chemical engineering modelling examples to train students in model formulation and model simplification as well as give a thorough coverage of the mathematical tools used to analyze and solve linear chemical engineering models.

Solution manual is provided for free to instructors who adopt this textbook. Please send your request to sales@wspc.com.
