Understanding mathematical and statistical techniques in hydrology. An examples-based approach (Q5890530)

This textbook is addressed at hydrologists who are looking for ``a text where mathematical techniques are explained at a level which can be easily understood for those without university or even advanced high school level maths'' (from the preface).NEWLINENEWLINETopics covered are as follows. Chapter 1: Fundamentals (differential equations, probability, statistics). Chapter 2: Statistical modelling (techniques of statistical modelling, extreme value analysis, Gumbel and Weibull model fitting, flood frequency curves, relationship between return period and flow). Chapter 3: Mathematics of hydrological processes (mass-balance equations, the use of exponents, advanced notation and differential equations). Chapter 4: Techniques based on data fitting (line and curve fitting, various non-linear relationships, multiple regression and cyclical patterns). Chapter 5: Time series data (identifying trends, smoothing and filtering, predicting future outcomes, non-stationarity, the use of modelling based purely on patterns in the data). Chapter 6: Measures of model performance, uncertainty and stochastic modelling (performance measures, examples of performance from hypothetical models, uncertainty, stochastic modelling).
