Spatial Modeling in Natural Sciences and Engineering

Download or read book Spatial Modeling in Natural Sciences and Engineering written by Jürgen Friedrich and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-27 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author introduces the reader to the creation and implementation of space-related models by applying a learning-by-doing and problem-oriented approach. The required procedural skills are rarely taught at universities and many scientists and engineers struggle to transfer a model into a computer program. The purpose of this book is to fill this gap. It moves from simple to more complex applications, covering various important topics in the sequence: dynamic matrix processing, 2D and 3D graphics, databases, Java applets and parallel computing.
