This book presents selected topics in science and engineering from an <br />
applied-mathematics point of view. The described natural, socio-economic, and <br />
engineering phenomena are modeled by partial differential equations that relate <br />
state variables such as mass, velocity and energy to their spatial and temporal <br />
variations. Typically, these equations are highly nonlinear; in many cases they <br />
are systems, and they represent challenges even for the most modern and <br />
sophisticated mathematical and numerical-analytic techniques.<br />
<br />
The selected topics reflect the longtime scientific interests of the author. <br />
They include flows of fluids and gases, granular-material flows, biological <br />
processes such as pattern formation on animal skins, kinetics of rarified gases, <br />
free boundaries, semiconductor devices, and socio-economic processes. Each topic <br />
is briefly introduced in its scientific or engineering context, followed by a <br />
presentation of the mathematical models in the form of partial differential <br />
equations with a discussion of their basic mathematical properties. The author <br />
illustrates each chapter by a series of his own high-quality photographs, which <br />
demonstrate that partial differential equations are powerful tools for modeling <br />
a large variety of phenomena influencing our daily lives. <br />
