| Summary |
The second edition of this popular text offers a unique approach to mathematical modeling. Meerschaert offers an inviting introduction and applies a problem-solving methodology in the three major areas of optimization, dynamical systems, and stochastic processes. This edition takes a practical approach toward the solution of a variety of real problems including docking two vehicles in space, the growth rate of an infectious disease, and wildlife management. Rigorous mathematical techniques required for a reasonable solution are introduced as necessary |
