Mathematical Modeling, 2/e (Hardcover)

Description

Mathematical Modeling, Second Edition, offers a unique approach to mathematical modeling by providing an inviting overview, and applying problem-solving methodology throughout concerning three major areas: optimization, dynamical systems, and stochastic processes. Providing a thorough revision, the author takes a practical approach toward the solution of a variety of real problems such as docking two vehicles in space, growth rate of an infectious disease, and wildlife management. Rigorous mathematical techniques required for reasonable solutions are introduced as necessary.
