Summary
Summary
Advanced mathematics used in engineering is studied here in this text which examines the relationship between the principles in natural processes and those employed in engineered processes. The text covers principles, practices and the mathematics involved in the design and operation of environmental engineering works. It also presents engineering modelling tools and environmental algorithm examples. Major subjects covered in this book include:* modelling * algorithms * air and water pollution assessment and control calculations Providing concepts, definitions, descriptions, and derivations in an intuitive manner, it is both a textbook and reference tool for practitioners involved in the protection of air, water, and land resources.

Choice Review
Spellman (Old Dominion Univ., VA) and Whiting have prepared this handy desktop resource, appropriate for practicing environmental engineers, graduate students, and higher level undergraduates. Many good examples make the handbook useful to teaching faculty seeking new problems. However, a good understanding of the fundamentals (basic chemistry, fluid mechanics, hydraulics, transport phenomena, thermodynamics, air pollution control, and water and wastewater treatment) is required to make this work useful. Basic unit conversions are detailed with lots of tables. There is also a very nice glossary buried in the storm water (last) chapter. A few typos suggest the need for a second edition. The topic "dimensional analysis" is not what an engineer would expect (i.e., it is not DA as defined in the field) and the algorithms chapter is a bit limited in scope. Although the sections on air and water are very good, missing is an equivalent content for solid waste and landfill design and elements of common hazardous waste remediation technologies. ^BSumming Up: Recommended.
