Riassunto:

Guide to Mathematical Modelling is a book designed for students and professionals interested in an introduction to mathematical modelling. It explains the concept of a mathematical model, examines why mathematical modelling is important, and presents several different modelling situations, ranging from simple to very complex. The book also discusses communication and the art of presenting and reporting on modelling activities.
