• Sommario/riassunto: Mathematical modelling and computer simulations are an essential part of the analytical toolset used by earth scientists. In this text, designed for use by those encountering the application of mathematics to the earth sciences for the first time, Dr Yang has selected topics which will be of most value to students. The book is designed to be 'theorem-free' while balancing formality and practicality.
