Description

Introduction to Environmental Modeling by William G. Gray and Genetha A. Gray provides a comprehensive understanding of how basic physical descriptions can be translated into mathematical analogues, enabling students to investigate environmental processes. This textbook focuses on simple examples and calculations that add to understanding, aiming to present fundamental physical and mathematical principles and philosophy of environmental modeling. The book covers hydrologic, atmospheric, and geophysical problems, providing a sense for the meaning of mathematical expressions and a physical feel for their relations to processes. It is designed for students who need to think in a different way than they would for more narrowly-defined engineering or physics problems. With a minimum prerequisite of knowledge of calculus through differential equations, this book provides the necessary mathematical and physical tools as needed. By exploring environmental modeling principles, readers can gain confidence in working with mathematical solutions and develop a deeper understanding of the subject.
