However a striking number of commonplace models of our physical environment are based entirely within the dynamics of a one-dimensional continuum. This introductory text therefore approaches the subject entirely within such a one-dimensional framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe principles of the mathematical modeling of one-dimensional media constitute the book's backbone. These concepts are elucidated with a diverse selection of applications, ranging from tidal dynamics and dispersion in channels to beam bending, algal blooms, blood flow, and the greenhouse effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is ideally suited to elementary undergraduate courses as it makes no use of multivariable calculus. A number of graded problems are included at the end of each section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roberts a J\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 981021913X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789810219130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Roberts a J","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48446699340031,"sku":"9789810219130","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_acbc7a03-bedf-4fe2-b371-5c2bbeb2c81c.jpg?v=1777226367","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-dimensional-intro-to-continuum-roberts-a-j-9789810219130","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
