About this Item

Modeling is one of the most appealing areas in engineering and applied sciences. Engineers need to build models to solve real life problems. The aim of a model consists of reproducing the reality as faithfully as possible, trying to understand how the real world behaves, and obtaining the expected responses to given actions or inputs.

About this title

Synopsis:

Modeling is one of the most appealing areas in engineering and applied sciences. Engineers need to build models to solve real life problems. The aim of a model consists of reproducing the reality as faithfully as possible, trying to understand how the real world behaves, and obtaining the expected responses to given actions or inputs. Many types of models are used in practice, such as differential equations models, function equation models, finite difference and finite element models, mathematical programming models, etc.

Review:

"...plenty of examples are given...suitable for mathematical programming undergraduate courses..." (Zentralblatt Math, Vol. 1029, 2004)

"I think this textbook is worth having in the college library..." (Interfaces, July-August 2003)

"...can be quite valuable because of its documentation of the GAMS software product...a means to learn and utilize a sophisticated linear and nonlinear programming tool." (Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 2002)

"...a welcome addition to the series of publications on mathematical programming applications to engineering problems..." Note: Review features an image of wiley.com. (IEEE Computer Applications in Power)

"...intention is to discuss the subject from an angle different from the standard, emphasizing conditions leading to well-defined problems, compatibility and uniqueness of solutions." (Mathematical Reviews, 2002i)

"...a useful and welcome addition to existing books on mathematical programming...I recommend this book..." (IIE Transactions)

"...very well suited as a professional reference or as a text for advanced mathematics or engineering courses." (Journal of Applied Mathematics and Stochastic Analysis, Vol. 15, No. 4)
