About this title

Synopsis

Daniel Maki and Maynard Thompson provide a conceptual framework for the process of building and using mathematical models, illustrating the uses of mathematical and computer models in a variety of situations. This text helps students learn that model building is a dynamic process involving simplification, approximation, abstraction, analysis, computation, and comparison. Students begin the process of model building with a consideration of phenomena arising in another academic area or in the real world.
