Someexamples: growth of the world's\npopulation, growth rates of humans, public  interest in news\nevents, growth and decline of central city                 populations,\npollution of rivers, adoption of agricultural                  innovations,\nand spreading of epidemics and migration of insects.           These\nand numerous other phenomena are illustrations of typical\ngrowth  and diffusion problems confronted in many branches of\nthe physical,         biological and social sciences as well as in\nvarious areas of agriculture,  business, education,\nengineering medicine and public health. The book       presents a\nlarge number of mathematical models to provide frameworks\nforthe analysis and display of many of these. The models\ndeveloped and utilizedcommence with relatively simple\nexponential, logistic and normal            distribution functions.\nConsiderable attention is given to time dependent   growth\ncoefficients and carrying capacities. The topics of discrete\nand distributed time delays, spatial-temporal diffusion and\ndiffusion with      reaction are examined. Throughout the book\nthere are a great many numerical examples. In addition and\nmost importantly, there are more than 50          in-depth\n\"illustrations\" of the application of a particular framework\normodel based on real world problems. These examples\nprovide the reader with  an appreciation of the intrinsic\nnature of the phenomena involved. They     address mainly\nreaders from the physical, biological, and social            sciences,\nas the only mathematical background assumed is                    elementary\ncalculus. Methods are developed as required, and the             reader\ncan thus acquire useful tools for planning, analyzing,\ndesigning,and evaluating studies of growth transfer and\ndiffusion phenomena. The book draws on the author's own\nhands-on experience in problems of environmental  diffusion\nand dispersion, as well as in technology transfer                 and\ninnovation diffusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642081408\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-662-03052-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 455\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378991554700,"sku":"9783642081408","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642081408.jpg?v=1775729446","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783642081408","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
