Riassunto

This iteration is updated by a new section on discrete optimization in conjunction with an introduction to integer programming; material on chaos and fractals; and output from the latest versions of the MAPLE, MATHEMATICA, and LINDO computer systems. Meerschaert (mathematics, U. of Nevada, Reno) provides introductory coverage of optimization, dynamic, and probability models. Chapters include reality-based application exercises (e.g., on wildlife management and infection growth rates) and further reading. An instructor's manual is available. No date is given for the first edition. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Recensione

"The author is very clear and careful in his presentation. The exercises are excellent. The examples are one of the strongest features. Honestly, I have not considered using any other text for my course."
--Blaise Morton, University of Minnesota
"It is the best modeling book for this audience that I have found. I find that Meerschaert's idea of an undergraduate course in modeling is very close to how I think such a course should run."
--W. George Cochran, Louisiana State University
