This book will be useful to anyone who needs to solve problems in the engineering or scientific world. The authors believe that constructing models is an essential step in the problem solving process.

This book contains a sequence of problems which the authors help you to solve by constructing models. The authors ask you a lot of questions to help you construct the models and even provide their own answers (after several pages) in case you are stuck. They then provide you some of the theory involved. You are approached as a student in their "classroom", and you are taking a class in building models.
