\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn introductory text for broad areas of nuclear reactor physics\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNuclear Reactor Physics and Engineering \u003c/i\u003eoffers information on analysis, design, control, and operation of nuclear reactors. The author--a noted expert on the topic--explores the fundamentals and presents the mathematical formulations that are grounded in differential equations and linear algebra.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book puts the focus on the use of neutron diffusion theory for the development of techniques for lattice physics and global reactor system analysis. The author also includes recent developments in numerical algorithms, including the Krylov subspace method, and the MATLAB software, including the Simulink toolbox, for efficient studies of steady-state and transient reactor configurations. In addition, nuclear fuel cycle and associated economics analysis are presented, together with the application of modern control theory to reactor operation.
