This book aims at providing both a basic introduction and advanced technical details of some of the
available mathematical and computing methods, thus closing the exisiting gap in this field, as well
as illustrating their use through case studies and examples. The methods presented here are targetted
at sustainable development and the case studies and examples are all in this area, although they have a
wide range of other applications, including economics, medicine and control systems
Written for specialists and researchers in sustainable development, economics and clean technology;
advisors to politicians and decision makers; engineers and other professionals working in clean technology
and green design of products and processes.
