Anisotropy of Metamaterials: Beyond Conventional Paradigms provides a comprehensive introduction to the mathematical modeling of metamaterials based on the macroscopic complex-valued permittivity tensor of dispersed random composites. Key topics include physical and mathematical theory, computer simulations, constructive homogenization, classification of dispersed random composites and their applications in cancer recognition. Image processing and machine learning algorithms are used. The book also discusses the precision of various effective medium approximations, including Bruggeman and Maxwell-Garnett formulas. New analytical, approximate and exact formulas and bounds for the macroscopic permittivity and piezoelectric constants of composites are derived. This book is a valuable tool for academics and professionals in photonics, presenting sustainable materials for sensing, health diagnostics and cancer detection methodologies.Key features:Offers key insights into the current trends and techniques in the study of the macroscopic properties of metamaterials, aiming at stimulating new avenues of researchPresents examples of image analysis, the primary tool for non-destructive metamaterials analysisDiscusses the applications of Machine Learning to image processing, illustrated using specific code in Python programming language

Introduction to Mathematical Modeling and Computer Simulations, Second Edition continues to serve as an engaging and accessible textbook for undergraduates studying mathematical modeling and computer simulations. The book is heavily focussed on applications, and so may have a particular appeal to applied mathematicians, engineers, and others working in applied quantitative disciplines. The book may also be useful as a reference text for reference text for early-career stage practitioners. New to this Edition:A new chapter on Machine Learning and Data Analysis in order to account for recent developments in the field.Chapter 9, ‘Asymptotic Methods in Composites’, has been entirely re-written to make it more consistent with industry and scientific standards.Includes an elementary introduction to programming in Python language.The Jupyter notebooks with examples for Chapter 10 and Appendix A are available for a download from www.Routledge.com/9781032661513.

Introduction to Mathematical Modeling and Computer Simulations is written as a textbook for readers who want to understand the main principles of Modeling and Simulations in settings that are important for the applications, without using the profound mathematical tools required by most advanced texts. It can be particularly useful for applied mathematicians and engineers who are just beginning their careers. The goal of this book is to outline Mathematical Modeling using simple mathematical descriptions, making it accessible for first- and second-year students.Chapter 1 and the Preface of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9781315277240
