The first half of the book begins with a clearly defined set of modeling principles, and then introduces a set of foundational tools including dimensional analysis, scaling techniques, and approximation and validation techniques. The second half demonstrates the latest applications for these tools to a broad variety of subjects, including exponential growth and decay in fields ranging from biology to economics, traffic flow, free and forced vibration of mechanical and other systems, and optimization problems in biology, structures, and social decision making.
Prospective students should have already completed courses in elementary algebra, trigonometry, and first-year calculus and have some familiarity with differential equations and basic physics.
* Serves as an introductory text on the development and application of mathematical models
* Focuses on techniques of particular interest to engineers, scientists, and others who model continuous systems
* Offers more than 360 problems, providing ample opportunities for practice
* Covers a wide range of interdisciplinary topics--from engineering to economics to the sciences
* Uses straightforward language and explanations that make modeling easy to understand and apply
New to this Edition:
* A more systematic approach to mathematical modeling, outlining ten specific principles
* Expanded and reorganized chapters that flow in an increasing level of complexity
* Several new problems and updated applications
* Expanded figure captions that provide more information
* Improved accessibility and flexibility for teaching

Store description
Transformer Books is now trading as a mail order seller exclusively. Specialist subjects are sciences, foreign languages, and science fiction and fantasy, with substantial selections also in crime fiction, academic and general interest. Enquiries by mail or email are welcome; especially since only a portion of the stock is listed online so far. For environmental reasons we make it a policy to recycle whatever packaging materials we can. Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping rates are now based on a 500g book, to be fairer in these days of steadily increasing postage prices, to buyers of average and smaller sized books; for heavier books we will Request Extra Shipping to the correct amount. Similarly cost of a 2nd book is based on an increment of not more than 500g, and we will request Extra Shipping if a combined parcel will cost more. All parcels are now sent on a Tracked service.…

Shipping terms
Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping rates are now based on 500g book, to be fairer in these days of steadily increasing postage prices, to buyers of average and smaller sized books; for heavier books we will Request Extra Shipping to the correct amount. Similarly cost of a 2nd book is based on an increment of not more than 500g, and we will request Extra Shipping if a combined parcel will cost more. Surface mail virtually does not now exist, and the distinction between Priority and Economy is now between Airmail Tracked/Signed delivery and Standard Airmail
Current Conditions. Since international postal services are almost universally in chaos at present, largely Covid-generated, with huge delays and some losses, I have removed the Standard airmail option from non-European destinations for the duration.
