Mathematical Modeling for Industrial Processes

These notes are based on the material presented in a series of lectures in the IBM Systems Research Institute (ESRI) in Geneva durJng 1967-1969 to systems engineers working in the design and programming of computer systems for control and monitoring of i~nustrial proc­ esses. The purpose of the lectures and this book is to give a survey of dif­ ferent approaches in developing models to describe the behavior of the process in terms of controllable variables. It does not cover the theory of c...
