BookPublisher: Cambridge, Massachusetts : The MIT Press, 2022Description: xxvi, 280 p. : ill.; 23 cmISBN: 9780262543965 :Subject(s): Mathematics | Problem solving -- Mathematical modelsDDC classification: 510 D759M 2022 Online resources: ดูปกและสารบัญ (see cover and contents) Summary: Many young graduates leave school with a solid knowledge of mathematical concepts but struggle to apply these concepts in practice. Real scientific and engineering problems are different from those found in textbooks: they are messier, take longer to solve, and standard solution recipes might not apply. This book fills the gap between what is taught in the typical college curriculum and what a practicing engineer or scientist needs to know. It presents six powerful tools for analysis, research, and problem-solving in the real world: dimensional analysis, limiting cases, symmetry, scaling, making order of magnitude estimates, and the method of successive approximations.
