About the Authors

Steve Chapra teaches in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Tufts University where he holds the Louis Berger Chair in Computing and Engineering. His other books include Surface Water-Quality Modeling and Applied Numerical Methods with MATLAB.

Dr. Chapra received engineering degrees from Manhattan College and the University of Michigan. Before joining the faculty at Tufts, he worked for the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and taught at Texas A&M University and the University of Colorado. His general research interests focus on surface water-quality modeling and advanced computer applications in environmental engineering.

He has received a number of awards for his scholarly contributions, including the 1993 Rudolph Hering Medal (ASCE) and the 1987 Meriam-Wiley Distinguished Author Award (American Society for Engineering Education). He has also been recognized as the outstanding teacher among the engineering faculties at both Texas A&M University (1986 Tenneco Award) and the University of Colorado (1992 Hutchinson Award).

Raymond P. Canale is an emeritus professor at the University of Michigan. During his over 20-year career at the university, he taught numerous courses in the area of computers, numerical methods, and environmental engineering. He also directed extensive research programs in the area of mathematical and computer modeling of aquatic ecosystems. He has authored or coauthored several books and has published over 100 scientific papers and reports. He has also designed and developed personal computer software to facilitate engineering education and the solution of engineering problems. He has been given the Meriam-Wiley Distinguished Author Award by the American Society for Engineering Education for his books and software and several awards for his technical publications.

Professor Canale is now devoting his energies to applied problems, where he works with engineering firms and industry and governmental agencies as a consultant and expert witness.
