Inhaltsangabe:

Learn to build and use mathematical models with MATHEMATICAL MODELING AND COMPUTER SIMULATION! Through the description of mathematical and computer models in a variety of situations, this mathematics text helps you learn that model building is a dynamic process involving simplification, approximation, abstraction, analysis, computation, and comparison. Case studies illustrate how the model building process is applied to real life situations arising in a variety of settings, including business, genetics, population biology, and social science. An appendix on student projects provides you with a selection of classroom-tested projects with hints and suggestions for organizing project work and communicating results.

Críticas: "The authors focus on the process of model building and the subsequent analysis and evaluation. They make a clear effort to get the student to think about the material. Also, the exercises are well thought out, and are not simply ones that students can do by mimicking examples provided in the text."
