9780534384784: Mathematical Modeling and Computer Simulation

Synopsis

Daniel Maki and Maynard Thompson provide a conceptual framework for the process of building and using mathematical models, illustrating the uses of mathematical and computer models in a variety of situations. This text helps students learn that model building is a dynamic process involving simplification, approximation, abstraction, analysis, computation, and comparison. Students begin the process of model building with a consideration of phenomena arising in another academic area or in the real world.

Review

"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."
