Ordinary differential equations are then addressed, covering both initial value and boundary value problems, with an emphasis on their role in describing dynamic behavior and transport phenomena. The section concludes with partial differential equations, which are fundamental for capturing spatial and temporal variations in heat, mass, and momentum transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: .5in .7in 1.5in;\"\u003eThe second part of the book presents a curated set of solved problems, each supported by Python code and figures. Covering topics such as parameter estimation, confidence intervals, and bioreactor optimization, the problems emphasize both steady-state and dynamic systems. Each example covers the deriving governing equations, related code, and interpreting results, providing a consistent learning path, while additional discussions encourage students to explore related concepts beyond the presented problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst\" style=\"margin-left: .25in; mso-add-space: auto; text-align: justify; mso-pagination: none; tab-stops: .5in .7in 1.5in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHéctor Jorquera\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor in the Department of Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
