This book introduces the reader to multiscale mathematical modeling that starts by describing a physical process at the microscopic level, and is followed by the macroscopic description of that process. There are two preliminary chapters introducing the main equations of mathematical physics and serves as revision of all of the necessary mathematical notions needed to navigate the domain of multiscale research.
The author gives a rigorous presentation of the tools of mathematical modeling, as well as an evaluation of the errors of the method. This allows readers to analyze the limitations and accuracy of the method.
The book is accessible to a wide range of readers, from specialists in engineering to applied mathematicians working in the applications of materials science, biophysics and medicine.
