Physical Oceanography: A Mathematical Introduction with MATLAB

By Reza Malek-Madani

Accessible to advanced undergraduate students, this text demonstrates how to use the basic tenets of multivariate calculus to derive the governing equations of fluid dynamics in a rotating frame. It also explains how to use linear algebra and PDEs to solve basic initial-boundary value problems that have become the hallmark of physical oceanography. The book makes the most of MATLAB(R)'s matrix algebraic functions, differential equation solvers, and visualization capabilities and includes chapter projects that incorporate MATLAB programming.
