Nature repeatedly reveals itself by having remarkably few number of laws to govern its manifold functions. It is this admirable property of conciseness and clarity which should permeate any model claiming to describe natural phenomena.
The book, “Essentials of Modeling Large Scale Physical Systems - A Holistic Overview”, seeks to highlight precisely the above qualities in modeling large scale systems. The systems considered are:
• The four forces of Nature
• Hot Big Bang Model of the Universe
• Standard Model of Particle Physics
• Cosmological observations and their measurements
• Genetic Modeling and Gene Therapy
• Unification of Electrostatic and Electromagnetic models- Maxwell's equations
• The Wave equations
A step by step approach delineating the various stages of modeling is described. The book offers a non-scientist, a holistic world view of the entire modeling process, covering some of the most important phenomenon occurring in nature.

P.C Chandrasekharan
P.C Chandrasekharan received his bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and a Masters degree in Science from University of Madras. Subsequently, he qualified for the M.S degree in Electrical Engineering (Michigan State University, U.S.A) and Ph.D degree in Modern Control Theory (University of Madras).
His teaching and Research Career spanned over 3 decades, first at College of Engineering, Guindy and later on at Anna University. A recipient of the “Best Teacher Award” of the State Government, he has held several responsible academic positions in the University with distinction, as a Professor, Head of the Department and as Dean of Post Graduate Studies. After retirement, he was awarded the University Grants Commission (UGC) Emeritus Fellowship for a two-year period.
Professor Chandrasekharan has technical publications to his credit in peer-reviewed journals, both in India and abroad. He is the sole author of an advanced graduate-level text book titled, “Robust Control of Linear Dynamical Systems”, by Academic Press, London in 1996. He has also published popular Science books titled, “Understanding the Universe - From the Quantum World of the Infinitesimal to the Cosmic Realm of the Infinite” (Global Vision Publishing House, New Delhi, 2011), “Modern Scientific Thought” (Notion Press India, 2018).
