PREFACE

This book on Selected Topics in Contemporary Mathematical Modeling contains twelve refereed invited chapters written by authors of the most interesting and inspiring results presented during the Conference on Mathematical Modeling in Physics and Engineering which was held at Poraj, Poland, 18-21 September 2017. The conference and publication of this volume were supported by Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education, grant No. 829/P-DUN/2017.

The conference Mathematical Modeling in Physics and Engineering was organized by the Institute of Mathematics of Czestochowa University of Technology for the 9th time. The topics of the conference cover various aspects of mathematical modeling and the usage of computer methods in modern problems of physics and engineering. Every year the conference participants represent a prominent group of recognized scientists as well as young researchers and PhD students from domestic and foreign universities.

Mathematical modeling has great potential for solving problems that arise in natural, industrial and social sciences. It has been used for decades to help scientists understand the mechanisms and dynamics behind experimental observations. The area of its possible applications is immense.

This volume focuses on the improvement of contemporary modeling techniques, and it presents its both theoretical and practical applications thus exploiting the innovative uses of mathematical modeling. It reflects the main thrust of research in applications of the mathematical modeling and establishes contacts with the current frontiers of this field.

I wish to express my appreciation to the authors of all chapters for their important contribution. Due to their fruitful research and helpful cooperation it was possible to provide such a broad coverage of this area of scientific research.
