Description
"Math comes in handy for answering questions about a variety of topics, from calculating the cost-effectiveness of fuel sources and determining the best regions to build high-speed rail to predicting the spread of disease and assessing roller coasters by their "thrill" factor. How does math do all that? Finding a solution to these and a multitude of other real-world questions will likely involve the creation, application, and refinement of a mathematical model, a mathematical representation of a situation to gain a qualitative or quantitative understanding to predict future behavior. Such predictions allow us to come up with novel findins, enable scientific advances, and make informed decisions. Given the lack of modeling courses in most school curricula, many students do not have access to the basic resources necessary to create a successful model. Math modeling : getting started & getting solutions provides instructions and processes for building mathematical models using a variety of examples and provides tools that remove perceived roadblocks by presenting modeling as a highly-creative iterative process in which multiple approaches, to the same problem, can lead to meaningful results."--Page 4 de la couverture.
