A basic introduction to Mathematical Modelling, this book encourages the reader to participate in the investigation of a wide variety of modelling examples. These are carefully paced so that the readers can identify and develop the skills which are required for successful modelling. The examples also promote an appreciation of the enormous range of problems to which mathematical modelling skills can be usefully applied.
Recent models have demonstrated that the range of a species can nevertheless end abruptly in such situations if there is a tradeoff between individual performance in different habitats (GarcĂa Ramos and Kirkpatrick 1997; Holt 2003; ...
This book is aimed at newcomers who desires to learn mathematical modeling, especially students taking a first course in the subject.
Guide to Mathematical Modelling
Accessible text features over 100 reality-based examples pulled from the science, engineering, and operations research fields.
Highly useful volume discusses the types of models, how to formulate and manipulate them for best results. Numerous examples.
This textbook mirrors the process professionals must follow in solving complex problems. Each chapter in this book is followed by a set of challenging exercises.
This concise and clear introduction to the topic requires only basic knowledge of calculus and linear algebra - all other concepts and ideas are developed in the course of the book.
Mathematical Models of Social Evolution equips behaviorists and evolutionary biologists with the mathematical knowledge to truly understand the models on which their research depends.
The text explores the various types of mathematical models, and includes a range of examples that help to describe a variety of techniques from dynamical systems theory.
The book begins with a step-by-step introduction to discrete dynamical systems, which are mathematical models that describe how a quantity changes from one point in time to the next.
