Su questo libro

Recensione

' ... an entertainingly written book. The effective use of a large number of case studies, shows how mathematics can be used to help address serious real-world problems. this is demonstrated to such an extent that even the most sceptical engineer would have to concede that mathematics can be useful!' Mathematics Today

'Many exercises are the end of each chapter ... it is shown in an interesting manner how mathematics can explain processes in nature and techniques ... very useful for mathematicians and engineers.' ZAMM

' ... a scenic but hands-on route through the classical topics of math modeling via PDEs ... this book is an excellent example of the type of text needed for topics in modeling, analysis, and approximations, particularly in new areas that have spread in the forefront of applied math over the last few decades, such as imagining, stochastic modeling, optimization, and biological modeling.' SIAM

Descrizione del libro

Used either by upper-undergraduate students, or as extra reading for any applied mathematician, this book illustrates how the reader's knowledge can be used to describe the world around them. Topics include distributions, asymptotic methods and the basics of modelling. Applications range from piano tuning to egg incubation and traffic flow.
