As we approach the end of the 20th century we can look back upon the achievements that have been made in a variety of human endeavours with pride. Enormous strides have been made to improve the quality of life of millions of people through the application of the scientific discoveries made during this and past centuries. The 20th century will be remembered as much for the mass exploitation of scientific discovery as for the discoveries themselves. The technological age has meant that the human being is able to contemplate activities which "defy" nature. For example, some of the work involved in the preparation of these proceedings has been done whilst travelling at over 500 miles per hour seven miles above the surface of the earth. It is not difficult to conjecture about the effect that this relatively recent technology has had upon a number of "systems". Air transportation has provided a number of benefits including such disparate examples such as enabling holidays, famine relief and the cross fertilisation of cultural practices from other lands. Equally, there have been undesirable effects such as enabling the means of mass destruction, interference in other cultures and the speedy transportation of disease. Moreover, the physical presence of the aeroplane itself represents the consumption of fossil fuels, a source of pollution and a change in the way think about life. The view expressed here is of course the view of an inhabitant of the "western world".
Techniques in Mathematical Modelling
"Techniques in Mathematical Modelling" is a comprehensive textbook designed to provide students, researchers, and practitioners with a solid foundation in the principles, techniques, and applications of mathematical modelling. We cover a wide range of topics, from fundamental concepts and analytical techniques to validation methods and emerging trends. Each chapter includes practical examples, case studies, and exercises to reinforce learning and demonstrate real-world applications. Our book emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of mathematical modelling, with applications in physics, biology, economics, engineering, social sciences, and more. We encourage hands-on learning through practical exercises, simulations, and projects, allowing readers to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios. Additionally, we explore emerging trends and challenges in the field, including advancements in computational techniques, data analytics, and interdisciplinary collaborations. Written in clear and accessible language, "Techniques in Mathematical Modelling" caters to readers with varying levels of mathematical background, making it suitable for undergraduate and graduate students as well as professionals.
Handbook of Systems Thinking Methods
The systems thinking philosophy has become popular in human factors and ergonomics and safety science. These methods are being used to understand and resolve complex societal problems in areas such as transport safety, workplace safety, medication error, disaster management, child abuse, financial crises, terrorism, climate change and public health and wellbeing. This handbook presents practical step-by-step guidance for practitioners and researchers wishing to use these methods to tackle complex problems. Each method includes an example case study which demonstrates how the method can be applied and how the results can be interpreted and translated into practical recommendations. The book presents practical guidance on state-of-the-art systems thinking methods and offers case study applications describing systems thinking methods in novel areas. It explains how to translate the outputs of systems thinking methods in practice and introduces systems thinking with an overview of Human Factors and Ergonomics applications. This book will serve as a great reference for students and engineers in the field of systems engineering, complex systems and the design and development of systems, including ergonomics/human factors and systems engineers, designers, architects, industrial engineers, project management engineers, reliability engineers, risk engineers, software engineers and computer engineers.
