Differential models. An introduction with Mathcad

Differential equations are often used in mathematical models for technological processes or devices. However, the design of a differential mathematical model is crucial and difficult in engineering.

As a hands-on approach to learn how to pose a differential mathematical model the authors have selected 9 examples with important practical application and treat them as following:
- Problem-setting and physical model formulation
- Designing the differential mathematical model
- Integration of the differential equations
- Visualization of results

Each step of the development of a differential model is enriched by respective Mathcad 11 commands, todays necessary linkage of engineering significance and high computing complexity.
