Pulling Rabbits Out of Hats
Using Mathematical Modeling in the Material, Biophysical, Fluid Mechanical, and Chemical Sciences
– by David J. Wollkind and Bonni J. Dichone (2021)
- Includes examples on such cases as solidification of alloys, chemically-driven convection of dissociating gases, temperature-dependent predator-prey mite systems, multi-layer and two-phase fluid phenomena, viral-target cell interactions, diffusive and gravitational instabilities, and chemical, material science, optical, and ecological Turing patterns.
- Aims to make the process of quantification of scientific phenomena transparent.
- Is a hybrid semi-autobiographical account of research results and a monograph on pattern formation.
- Book preview by Taylor & Francis CRC Press.

Book Errata Here
Given Lee Segel’s (mentioned prominently in the preface) adage, “Although there can only be a finite number of typographical errors in the proofs of a publication, it takes an infinite amount of time to find them all,” errata will be listed below with corrections of typographical errors highlighted in red.

SIAM Pacific Northwest Section Meeting – October 18-20, 2019
Seattle University hosted the 2nd biennial meeting of SIAM Pacific NW Section on October 18-20, 2019. The conference brought together Pacific Northwest applied mathematics in academia, national labs and industry. Professor Wollkind gave a talk on Fluid Mechanics: Systems and Models. This work has been published in Involve – a journal of mathematics, vol 12, no. 7 2019 (or you may click here).
In 2015 Dr. Wollkind received the second annual ASWSU Cougar Award given on behalf of the ASWSU students to recognize one individual from WSU who has made a positive impact on the WSU-Pullman community.
