[内容简介]
This book aims to fill the gap by providing both a basic introduction and advanced technical details of some of the available mathematical and computing methods, as well as illustrating their use through case studies and examples. The methods presented hhere are aimed at sustainable development and the case studies and examples are all in this area, but they have a wide range of other application areas, including in economics, medicine and control systems.
