Understanding mathematical and statistical techniques in hydrology : an examples-based approach / Harvey Rodda and Max Little.

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: Chichester : John Wiley and Sons, 2015.Description: xi, 90 p. : illustrations ; 25 cmISBN:
  • 9781444335491
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 000SB:551.48 23 R686
Contents:
1. Fundamentals -- 2. Statistical modelling -- 3. Mathematics of hydrological processes -- 4. Techniques based on data fitting -- 5. Time series data -- 6. Measures of model performance, uncertainty and stochastic modelling -- Glossary -- Index.
Summary: Pick up any hydrology textbook and it will not be long before you encounter pages listing sequences of equations representing complex mathematical concepts. Students and practitioners of hydrology will not find this very helpful, as their aim, generally, is to study and understand hydrology, not to find themselves confronted with material that even students of mathematics would find challenging.
