This text provides an introduction to the entire modeling process. Throughout the book, students practice key facets of modeling, including creative and empirical model construction, model analysis, and model research. The authors apply a proven six-step problem solving process to enhance a student's problem solving capabilities. Rather than simply emphasizing the calculation step, the authors first ensure that students learn how to identify problems, construct or select models, and figure out what data needs to be collected. By involving students in the mathematical process as early as possible, beginning with short projects, the book facilitates their progressive development and confidence in mathematics and modeling.
If ur undecided about pure or applied math, thats the right book to know..
| Customer Rating:  | Well, I was undecided about pure or applied mathematics.
I was more thinking of applied mathematics.
I took a course that uses this book.
Two weeks after the class began, I dropped the course, and I knew I am a pure mathematics guy!
(so the stars are for letting me know about what field I like, not the material presented in the book).
I am not saying anyone who starts reading this book is going to switch to pure mathematics.. it should not be the case, however, I think it has the essence of applied mathematics, so if u really like applied mathematics, ur going to very much appreciate this book. |
The Text for Mathematical Models of Reality
| Customer Rating: | | From discrete to continuous modelling, with many proyects and examples, I like very spacially this book for the undergraduate level. The presentation is very clear, but rigurous, making experience the reader through the models. It focuses on the interpretation and ends with some tools for modelbuilding. For a start of mathematical model understanding of reality this book is specially good, clear and completely well written. Good job Mr. Giordano and Weir!
