Index

"This book has a dual objective: first, to introduce the reader to some of the most important and widespread environmental issues of the day; and second, to illustrate the vital role played by mathematical models in investigating these issues. The subjects are ground-water contamination, air pollution, and hazardous materials emergencies. These issues are presented in their full real-world context, not as scientific or mathematical abstractions; and for background, readers are invited to investigate specific examples in their own communities."
