This accessible introduction presents an overview of the mathematical methods essential for understanding Earth processes, providing an invaluable resource for students and early career researchers who may have missed (or forgotten) the mathematics they need to succeed as scientists. Topics build gently from basic methods such as calculus to more advanced techniques including linear algebra and differential equations. The practical applications of the mathematical methods to a variety of topics are discussed, ranging from atmospheric science and oceanography to biogeochemistry and geophysics. Including over 530 exercises and end-of-chapter problems, as well as additional computer codes in Python and MATLAB, this book supports readers in applying appropriate analytical or computational methods to solving real research questions. Introduces both analytical and numerical methods, supplying a variety of practical tools for problem solving End-of-chapter exercises based around real Earth science problems allow the reader to test their understanding of the methods in context Supplemental online computer codes provide additional examples of practical applications of the mathematical methods Table of Contents Preface 1.
