Abstract
We begin with a discussion of various demands on mathematical modeling. We explain how to model technical processes as convection, diffusion, waves, or hydrodynamics. For this reason we introduce partial differential equations as Laplace equations heat equations wave equations or Schrödinger equations that play a central role in applications. These models are treated in later chapters.
