Engineering Design and Mathematical Modelling

<p>Engineering Design and Mathematical Modelling: Concepts and Applications consists of chapters that span the Engineering design and mathematical modelling domains. </p><p>Engineering design and mathematical modelling are key tools/techniques in the Science Technology and Innovation spheres. Whilst engineering design is concerned with the creation of functional innovative products and processes mathematical modelling seeks to utilize mathematical principles and concepts to describe and control real world phenomena. Both of these can be useful tools for spurring and hastening progress in developing countries. They are also areas where Africa needs to ‘skill-up’ in order to build a technological base. </p><p>The chapters in this book cover the relevant research trends in the fields of both engineering design and mathematical modelling. This book was originally published as a special issue of<i> </i>the <i>African Journal of Science Technology Innovation and Development. </i></p>
