Modelling and simulation have become endeavours central to all disciplines of science and engineering. they are used in the analysis of physical systems where they help us gain a better understanding of the functioning of our physical world. They are also important to the design of new engineering systems where they enable us to predict the behaviour of a system before it is ever actually built. Modelling and simulation are the only techniques available that allow us to analyze arbitrarily non-linear systems accurately and under varying experimental conditions. The two books "Modeling and Simulation of Continuous Systems," of which this is the first, introduce the student to an important subclass of these techniques. They deal with the analysis of systems described through a set of ordinary or partial differential equations or through a set of difference equations. This first volume introduces concepts of modelling physical systems through a set of differential and/or difference equations. The purpose is twofold: it enhances the scientific understanding of our physical world by codifying (organizing) knowledge about this world, and it supports engineering design by allowing the reader to assess the consequences of a particular design alternative before it is actually built. This text has a flavour of the mathematical discipline of dynamical systems, and is strongly orientated towards Newtonian physical science.
