"The book introduces traditional techniques of applied mathematics for chemical engineers. It shows the reader how to solve ordinary differential equations (ODEs) while adding new material on approximate solution methods such as perturbation techniques and elementary numerical solutions. The book also includes basics of linear algebra and statistical methods along with analytical techniques to deal with important classes of finite-difference equations while also discussing analytical, numerical and approximate solution techniques applied to solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). The reader will then have had the practical training to apply mathematics in the formulation of problems in Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering, Chemistry and Physics. The first and second editions of Applied Mathematics and Modeling for Chemical Engineers have served a generation of chemical engineers well. The new edition revises and updates to bring new contemporary examples to bear on emerging technology in biochemical engineering and nanotechnology. Updates throughout the text along with two added chapters, one on Linear Algebra and the other on Applied Statistics, satisfies the need for more analysis on laboratory data and statistical quality control in the engineering curricula"--
