Preface to the 2nd Edition

The first edition of Computational Multiscale Modeling of Fluids and Solids— Theory and Applications has been very successful and was well received by the computational science community worldwide, so a 2nd edition has become necessary eight years after the first edition was published. This monograph actually is the first of its kind, summarizing and presenting both the physical and mathematical foundations of the field of computational multiscale modeling, along with key algorithms and source code in a succinct way using a consistent notation. Since publication of the first edition, I have received numerous e-mail messages with positive comments on the book from researchers around the world and personal feedback from readers at many international conferences. For the second edition, the text and some of the figures have been revised and typographical errors have been corrected. Vectors are now written in boldface notation rather than using arrows for indicating that a quantity has several components in some vector space. The reason for this change is that the arrow symbol can be misleading, as a vector is very gen
