"Understanding the mathematical modeling of chemical processes is fundamental to the successful career of a researcher in chemical engineering. This book reviews, introduces, and develops the mathematics that is most frequently encountered in sophisticated chemical engineering models. The result of a collaboration between a chemical engineer and a mathematician, both of whom have taught classes on modeling and applied mathematics, the book provides a rigorous and in-depth coverage of chemical engineeringmodel formulation and analysis as well as a text which can serve as an excellent introduction to linear mathematics for engineering students. There is a clear focus in the choice of material, worked examples, and exercises that make it unusually accessible to the target audience. The book places a heavy emphasis on applications to motivate the theory, but simultaneously maintains a high standard of rigor to add mathematical depth and understanding."--Publisher's website.

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.

What do molecules look like and how do they change their shape in chemical reactions? The answers to such questions are elucidated in this book, which gives a comprehensive and topical overview of mathematical modeling in chemistry. In 21 chapters leading research groups describe recent progress in stereochemistry and shape analysis reactivity and reaction modeling chemical properties and QSAR algorithmic approaches. Their collective experience will enable the reader to implement the latest mathematical models to analyze molecular properties and chemical reactions.

This book provides an authoritative introduction to the rapidly growing field of chemical reaction network theory. In particular, the book presents deep and surprising theorems that relate the graphical and algebraic structure of a reaction network to qualitative properties of the intricate system of nonlinear differential equations that the network induces. Over the course of three main parts, Feinberg provides a gradual transition from a tutorial on the basics of reaction network theory, to a survey of some of its principal theorems, and, finally, to a discussion of the theory’s more technical aspects. Written with great clarity, this book will be of value to mathematicians and to mathematically-inclined biologists, chemists, physicists, and engineers who want to contribute to chemical reaction network theory or make use of its powerful results.

A solid introduction, enabling the reader to successfully formulate, construct, simplify, evaluate and use mathematical models in chemical engineering.
