TitleConsider a spherical cow : A course in environmental problem solving
Author(s)John Harte
PublicationCalifornia, USA, University Science Books, 1988.
Descriptionxiii, 283p.
Contents NoteThe idea for this text evolved from courses in environmental science taught by the author at Yale University and the University of California at Berkeley over the past 15 years. The spherical cow approach to problem solving involves the stripping away of unnecessary detail, so that only essentials remain. This text should serve two functions. First, it should teach the reader how to transform realistic, qualitatively described problems into quantifiable solvable form and to arrive at an approximate solution. Second, it should teach concepts in environmental science from the novel perspective of problem solving.

TitleConsider a cylindrical cow : More adventures in environmental problem solving
Author(s)John Harte
PublicationCalifornia, USA, University Science Books, 2001.
Descriptionxii, 211p
Contents NoteFollowing on the hooves of Consider a Spherical Cow ( Harte, J. 1988) this book will teach you additional modeling skills of use in environmental science. At the beginning of each of the five thematic sections in the book is a general treatment of the relevant mathematical concepts. The core of the book is 25 fully worked-out problems. Each problem statement is posed more like a research question rather than a standard homework exercise. Homework exercises follow each worked-out problem solution and range from relatively straightforward exercises that probe readers' understanding of the concepts and methods to more difficult and open-ended research suggestions.
