Summary
Summary
This develops the modelling and computational methods needed for the simulation of real processes. Fundamental modelling techniques are discussed in order to develop mechanistically sound mathematical descriptions of physical, chemical and biochemical processes.

Choice Review
This text would be a daunting prospect for a student without a mathematical background in differential equations, including partial differential equations, matrix methods, and a basic familiarity with computers including the Fortran language. However, given the above background, the student will find this an excellent textbook covering the field of mathematical modeling of chemical and related problems, and their solutions and applications via computer simulation. Ramirez presents a large number of solved examples and problems for the student. He is generous with literature references presented at chapter ends. The book is especially noteworthy for its use of Fortran program examples presenting the development and solution of several models. Also important are the discussions of several IMSL (International Mathematical and Statistical Libraries, Inc.) routines now commonly used in university computer centers for mathematical solutions and simulations. Unfortunately, the index is sparse. Highly recommended for upper-level undergraduate and graduate libraries serving course work in process modeling and computer simulation. -T. J.
