The book provides an overview of mathematical modeling through a panoramic view of applications of mathematics in science and technology. In each chapter, mathematical models are chosen from the physical, biological, social, economic, management, and engineering sciences. The models deal with different concepts, but have a common mathematical structure and bring out the unifying influence of mathematical modeling in different disciplines. Features: Provides a balance between theory and applications Features models from the physical, biological, social, economic, management, and engineering sciences UR - https://www.degruyterbrill.com/isbn/9781683928737 ER -
