The book will serve as a comprehensive guide to basic and advanced computational and parametric modeling methods, making it an invaluable resource for undergraduate courses focusing on both introductory and advanced computational modeling. By establishing best practices and workflows for more complex operations and calculations, it will empower students to tackle challenging problems in various fields.

Moreover, the book's later chapters on advanced topics such as ecosystem services and landscape performance will cater to upper-level undergraduate courses and graduate students specializing in grading and drainage, stormwater management, and system thinking. This comprehensive coverage will equip readers with the skills and knowledge necessary to evaluate performance in both the natural and built environment, a professional standard for accredited programs and Sustainable Sites and L.E.E.D. certifications.

In the introductory chapters, the book will provide references to external resources related to climate, soil, and topographic data, ensuring that users have access to a broader range of examples and contexts beyond the specific region and context discussed. This approach will enhance the learning experience and allow students to apply their knowledge to a wider range of real-world scenarios.

Overall, the book's aim is to provide a solid foundation in computational modeling and equip students with the tools and knowledge they need to excel in their studies and pursue careers in fields related to environmental science, engineering, and planning.
